Chester Racecourse has won a prestigious national award at an annual event.
The Roodee was awarded the Owners’ Experience Award at the 2016 RCA Showcase Awards event (Racecourse Association), at Doncaster Racecourse, which celebrates innovation and excellence in the industry.
Racehorse Owners Association (ROA) members were asked to consider where racecourses across the country had met and exceeded expectations relating to the experience of racehorse owners.
The Chester Owners’ Experience impressed the judges with their new £400 minimum payment contribution scheme which helped contribute to a 14 per cent increase in owner attendance in this year.
Chester Racecourse was also named as finalist in the Operational Excellence category and for the Racing Together Community and CSR Award.
The news comes after the Roodee was awarded a gold standard status for the ninth consecutive year earlier this month.
