Aintree is Britain’s first Beacon Racecourse, and in the first 12 months of a two-year pilot run by Racing To School, the charity responsible for delivering education programmes through the sport, around 1,500 children have had access to the world-famous venue, of whom at least 30 per cent had never previously visited a racecourse. Almost all the youngsters, whose ages range from nine to 16, will have another year’s experience of a programme that Aintree Chairman Rose Paterson describes as “fundamental to our link with the community,” and to which John Baker, North-West Stand-out occasions in 2015 ranged from 70 local Regional Director for Jockey Club Racecourses, schoolchildren singing the National Anthem on Grand adds: “This is our way of giving something back to National day to four events carried out in partnership local people, encouraging them to become part of the with Everton FC and Riding for the Disabled, with former racecourse, to see what we do.” jockey Carrie Ford, who works for the Racing Together team, extending her Beacon project involvement to Baker is in no doubt about what Beacon status means share the experience of finishing fifth on Forest Gunner for Aintree.
