The seven race card which will commence at 5.20pm features a mix of flat and National Hunt races with top jockeys from across Ireland in attendance for what promises to be an excellent evening meeting.

Three of the seven Races have been kindly sponsored by ABBVIE, The Sligo Champion and Club Sligo.

Speaking last week, Marty said he was thoroughly looking forward to attending the event.

Club Sligo are also arranging a Patrons Marquee for the day to enable their supporters mix and mingle during the Races and this has been kindly sponsored by John McKeon of Pet Stop Discount Warehouse.

Patrons will also have the opportunity to attend a post Races BBQ in Kennedy’s Bar on Rockwood Parade and the organisers are grateful to the Quinn family for sponsoring this aspect of the event.
