Plumpton Racecourse


Monday’s At The Races Raceday at Plumpton offers an exciting mix of competitive jump racing at one of the UK’s most picturesque small jumps tracks.  Plumpton is entering its second year of a five year agreement with At the Races, who broadcast racing to up to 1.9 million TV viewers and 850,000 online users each month in the UK and Ireland, and distributes UK and Irish racing into over 20 countries around the world.

Plumpton will be promoting two recent initiatives at its meeting on Monday, aimed at helping inform and engage racing fans both on and off the racecourse.

Plumpton offers racegoers up to date news from the track in the run up to racemeetings with a general Twitter feed @plumptonraces. It has now also launched a raceday service @plumptonraceday which provides insights from media and racing personalities from the course, details of William Hill’s best backed and other betting updates, paddock choices and negatives, instant winner updates, going reports, jockey changes, and non-runners. 

Claire Sheppard, Plumpton Chief Executive said “Twitter is very popular, and is an ideal for racing as on a raceday there is so much new information and opinion. Plumpton is keen to use all means possible to help communicate what we do - Twitter enables us quickly and effectively to give everyone the inside track from the course.”

Racegoers at Plumpton can also now watch Plumpton on Course TV from their I-Phone and Blackberrys, so wherever they are on the racecourse they can keep up to date with racing from Plumpton and the other tracks and the latest betting shows.

An exciting and competitive card of 7 races on Monday starts with the first race at 12.50pm. Full details can be found at www.plumptonracecourse.co.uk or by calling the Racecourse Office on 01273 890383.
