Ayr Racecourse is committed to providing a superior level of
customer service to Owners and Trainers.
Race Planning
In conjunction with the BHA we aim to provide competitive
racing, according to the needs of the majority of Owners, Trainers
and horse population. We support this by staging 'feature'
racedays, with attractive levels of prize money and higher rated
races.
The Going
Trainers receive going reports at entry and declaration stages
by telephone, fax, e-mail and/or text message.
For up to date information on the Going and the forecast for any
fixture, please contact the Clerk of the Course, Emma Marley, on
07881 908702.
An on-going programme of capital investment and modern equipment
purchases ensures the best possible racing surface for all
horses.
