Trainer Richard Hannon's Herridge Racing Stables will be open to the public on Sunday, Sept. 1. Sponsored by Unibet and with the aim of raising money for the Greatwood Charity which uses retired racehorses to help disadvantaged children and young adults with special educational needs, and Wiltshire Air Ambulance, the inaugural Open Day lasts from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors will get to meet some of their equine heroes during a parade of the stable's stars throughout the morning. Entertainers “Sharkey and George” will be on hand to provide fun and activities for children. Food and drink outlets will also be available. Premier League player Charlie Austin will answer questions about his racing experiences and his thoughts on the upcoming season. Tickets are £20 for adults and £5 for children under 16 accompanied by adults.
“The open morning provides a wonderful opportunity for us to give something back to fans of racing as well as raising money for two brilliant causes,” said Hannon. “We are very lucky to have some wonderful facilities and everyone at Herridge Racing Stables is excited to welcome visitors to the yard on Sept. 1.”
