Hamilton Park Racecourse has announced its prize money for the new season is set to exceed £1.6m for the first time.
The racing is set to get underway on Sunday, May 1, and officials say the record prize-pot is part of an increased investment in the race programme as well as an enhanced offering to visiting owners.
This summer will see a number of firsts for Hamilton Park, including their richest ever race day, the Sky Bet Sunday Series on Sunday, May 8 worth £200,000, and the richest single race, as it has been confirmed that the historic Lanark Silver Bell will be run as a Heritage Handicap worth £100,000 on Friday, August 26.
