Bangor-on-Dee is good at promoted popular Saturday meetings to get the crowds in, and May’s Family Funday is no exception.

In 2019 more than 5,000 people attended the track to witness a fantastic eight-race card, the feature being the two-and-a-half-mile Handicap Chase which was won by Steel Wave and ridden to victory by star jockey Tom Scudamore.

On Family Funday children under the age of 17 are permitted free entry and are kept fully entertained with the many activities offered on the Open Course, while the adults are of course catered for too given the wealth of food and drink outlets offered on the day, along with the presence of competitive on-course bookmakers.

Winning jockeys and trainers on Family Funday recently have included Rebecca Curtis, Sean Bowen, Richard Johnson, Brian Hughes, Alan King, Nicky Henderson and Warren Greatrex which is testament to the quality that this card attracts.
