Betfred Old Roan Chase Day - Saturday 22nd October 2011
Join us as Aintree races on Saturday 22nd October for the eagerly anticipated Betfred Old Roan Chase Day and the first quality 2mile 4furlong chase of the new jumps season. Which horse will equal Monet’s Garden’s three sequential victories of this famous chase? This race has been littered with names of racing stars such as Kauto Star, Albertas Run and Poqulin and the field this year will be sure not to disappoint.
Autumn racing at Aintree is about enjoying the spectacle and the social from one of Aintree’s many indoor course facing bars, as one general admission ticket gives access to all public grandstand areas, there's no need to worry about getting cold or wet if the October weather is reliable! If you fancy braving the elements, there’s no strict dress code for this day so smart jeans and warm woolens are the order of the day.
