Then Friday 20th is full of glamour on Ladies Day, featuring our sensational Style Awards as well as amazing racing including the Ayr Bronze Cup, the British EBF Stallions Harry Rosebery Stakes and the Arran Scottish Sprint EBF Fillies’ Stakes.

But the highlight of it all is the Ayr Gold Cup on Saturday 21st, one of the most valuable sprint handicaps in Europe. Last year’s race was won by Significantly, trained by Julie Camacho and ridden by jockey Joe Fanning. Saturday also features the Ayr Silver Cup, the Firth of Clyde Stakes (Group Race) and the Doonside Cup (Listed Race).

Three terrific days of quality racing plus fantastic entertainment makes the Ayr Gold Cup Festival a must to attend.
