Hamilton Park has announced its richest-ever season with record prize money of £1.64million on offer.
Every race staged at the Scottish track during 2023 will be worth at least £7,000. And in a further commitment to owners and trainers, they have revealed all 127 races will exceed BHA minimum values by at least £2,000. Key highlights for the months ahead include the prestigious Phoenix Utilities Lanark Silver Bell, won last year by Wickywickywheels for local trainer Jim Goldie and owner Jimmy Long.
The £100,000 heritage handicap is the centrepiece to the popular August 25 fixture. And thanks to the addition of a new Darley/EBF development race, worth £50,000, prize money on that evening will top £212,000 - making it the South Lanarkshire venue’s most lucrative meeting. It’s also the second of two £200,000 racedays in 2023, following on from the return of the Sky Bet Sunday Series on May 14. The Hamilton executive has made increasing prize money and further enhancing the owners’ and trainers’ experience a central part of their strategy for the racecourse.
