All-Weather Championships and April entertainment!


On Friday 30th March, we had the pleasure of hosting the presentations for the the British All Weather Jockeys Championship. The championship, which is decided on ridden winners of flat races taking place on the all-weather between 09/11/11 to 30/03/12 was won by Joe Fanning, who clinched the title at Lingfield with a double win. Joe clinched the title after winning 89 times from 438 rides. Luke Morris (86 wins from 648 rides) narrowly missed out after only managing 8th place on Mister Green in the 4.30 at Lingfield. 

David Roberts, Managing Director of Wolverhampton, Worcester and Southwell Racecourses presents a cheque for £10,000, memento and Champagne to Joe Fanning, winner of the 2011/2012 Arena Leisure All Weather Jockeys Championship.
Luke Morris, runner up jockey in the Arena Leisure All Weather Championship receives a cheque for £5000, memento and Champagne from Kate Hills.
