Ayr Wins Award For Sixth Year In A Row Ayr Racecourse has been voted Racecourse of the Year 2009 for Scotland and the North East by The Racegoers Club.
This is the sixth year in a row the track has won the award having landed the accolade in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The award recognises the vast improvements made at the course over the past six years including the £4.5 million Ayrshire Suite and Owners Bar. The honour from The Racegoers Club is particularly pleasing for those associated with Ayr as the Club has 6,500 members who are all avid racegoers. Ayr has previously won the award 15 times since 1990. Geoff Green, General Manager of Ayr Racecourse, said: “It is a great honour to win this award and underlines our status as one of the top racecourses in the UK. “To have won this six times in a row is especially pleasing and I’d like to thank everyone who voted for us.” To find out more about racing at Ayr you can visit www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk or call 0870-8505666.
Attendances Boost For Ayr Attendances at Ayr Racecourse’s top 10 fixtures in 2008 topped 73,000 as crowds continue to flock back to Scotland’s premier race track.
The marketing ploy of jointly promoting the fixtures, which included the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival and the John Smith’s Ayr Gold Cup Festival, as ‘Scotland’s Top 10’, proved a great success with more than half of the meetings showing significant increases year on year and the others maintaining the high levels of 2007.
