Plumpton Racecourse has won a prestigious Special Judges Award at the 2011 Racecourse Association Showcase award ceremony at Epsom racecourse on Thursday 17th November. The Showcase awards celebrate excellence and innovation at racecourses during 2011.

The TurfTalk Staff Engagement Programme at Plumpton Racecourse was hailed as an effective new initiative and a model for all smaller racecourses.

Chairman of the judging panel, Chris McFadden of Racecourse Enterprises Ltd, noted “The quality of the entries this year was excellent and the judges had a very difficult job in picking out the winners.” Other winning racecourses on the night were Doncaster, York, Musselburgh, Hamilton Park, Goodwood, Carlisle, Ascot and Newcastle.
