Following the Government announcement on 4th January 2021, we are now in a period of national restrictions.
Racing is permitted to continue , but we are still not able to admit spectators and our racing will continue behind closed doors. Unfortunately, Owners are also not permitted to attend any race meetings during the period of national restrictions.
The Racecourse Executive welcomes the return of spectators to the sport and we are busy working on protocols for the safe return of all owners and the general public under the new regulations.
All of Wetherby's race meetings are broadcast live through Racing TV, so please catch us there if you can.
Thank you for your interest in racing with us.
We wish you all a peaceful 'New Year', stay safe and we hope to be able to welcome you all back to Wetherby, later in 2021!
