Lincoln City players to guest at Market Rasen Races

With free entry for accompanied under 18s, families will be able to go behind the scenes, test their jockey skills on a mechanical racehorse, take trips to the start of races and meet the Imps who also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals this season.

Also lined up for Sunday is a parade of former racehorses, a talk from leading re-trainer Jayne Gollings, a farrier display; the BIG Jigsaw Challenge, and a fence and hurdle display.

All three enclosures at the racecourse – County, Tattersalls and Lawn – will be open, offering visitors a choice of where to watch the races.

Adult tickets start at £7.20 when bought in advance.

Nadia Powell, general manager, Market Rasen Racecourse, said: “We’re delighted to be staging a Super Sunday fixture designed not only for regular visitors, but also for families who would like to find out what a day at the races is all about.

“It’s fantastic, too, that players from Lincoln City will be joining us after their historic season – it will be a real celebration about what they have achieved for sport in Lincolnshire.”

Market Rasen Racecourse’s ambassador, teenage jockey Sean Bowen said: “A trip to the races, particularly on Sundays, is a great day out for families.

“I’ll hope to be there at the racecourse and riding one or two winners.”

Gates open at 11.50am, with the first race at 1.50pm and the finale at 5pm.
