Magnificent seven! Ayr Racecourse has been voted Racecourse of
the Year 2010 for Scotland and the North East by The Racegoers Club
- the seventh consecutive year the course has won this coveted
award.
Ayr's great run began back in 2004 the first full year current
owners Alan Macdonald and Richard Johnstone were in charge and
Scotland's premier track has won the award every year since.
Huge improvements have taken place at the track over the past
seven years including the new £4.5 million Ayrshire Suite, the
introduction of new fine dining restaurants including the Roman
Warrior and the Chancellor Carvery. And there's also been huge
changes made to the Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure plus
the creation of the Champagne Lawn and Gardens - the perfect place
to be on a hot summer's day!
The honour from The Racegoers Club is highly valued by the team
at Ayr as it comes from a Club whose 6,500 members are all active
racegoers . Ayr has now won the award 17 times since 1990.
Lindsey Smith, Sales and Marketing Manager at Ayr Racecourse,
said: "We are so pleased to have won this award which underlines
our status as one of the top racecourses in the UK."
"To have won the award seven times is a great feather in our cap
and we thank everyone at the Racegoer's Club for voting for
us."
