Over 10,000 attended the night last June which mixed racing with
a performance from Alexandra Burke after the last race.
Almost £34,000 was raised for charity and will be distributed
among the many charities the Saints and Sinners committee
support.
Ayr Racecourse Finance Director David Brown handed over a cheque
to Fred Macaulay from the Saints and Sinners Committee and former
Miss Scotland Aisling Pearson before the recent Ayrshire
Chamber of Commerce dinner at the racecourse.
Philip Martin, Racing Convenor for Saints and Sinners commented :
"This fantastic contribution reflects Ayr's hard work and terrific
support from racegoers. Saints and Sinners looks forward to working
with Ayr's management to continue to grow the meeting and expand
the amount we raise for over 120 small Scottish charities each
year."
Saints and Sinners Racenight was moved to Ayr from Hamilton in
2008 after 42 years at the Lanarkshire track and is now Ayr's third
busiest fixture of the season.
David Brown commented : "Saints and Sinners Racenight has grown
year on year since relocating at Ayr - we are delighted that the
public support the event in such large numbers and that this
results in an increase in what the individual charities
receive."
Saints and Sinners Racenight 2011 will be held on Friday June
17.
