Not much to report as things are ticking along nicely now with racing in full swing, but if you are new to the Surrey League you can now race at least twice a week for the next couple of months. You can either race on Wednesday evenings in the Vets series, Thursday evenings at the Handicap series or, and if a 4th cat, Friday evenings at the Precise Performance 4th cat series. Also on Friday evening, the Surrey League hosts the stolen goat Women’s series which follows the 4th cat events covering 1 lap less. Whatever you decided to do, racing is available so please support these events where possible. Please note that women riders can ride any of the events named above, not just at the stolen goat Women’s series.
