TOP IRISH JOCKEYS HEAD FOR
PERTH RACES on SAT 16th AUGUST

It could be an Irish bonanza at Perth Races tomorrow with a number of Irish horses travelling over to try and claim some of the £50,000 prize money on offer. The highlight for the big crowds expected could well be the riding of two of the most accomplished and stylish riders of the present decade, Barry Geraghty - the present Irish Champion Jockey and Ruby Walsh a past champion and Grand National winning jockey, both in action throughout the afternoon.

Along with some exciting racing there will be entertainment for all the family starting soon after the gates open at 11am. This will include a chance to bet on some amusing Ferret Racing, exciting Falconry Displays and an exhibition of Horse Vaulting. There will be a range of Bouncy Castles and Quad Bikes for the younger generation in what promises to a wonderful afternoon's entertainment. The Corporate Hospitality facilities have been fully booked for a while and there are a significant number of Hen and Stag parties coming from the length and breadth of the U.K. to start their celebrations and have a party at the races.
