“There are only two racing colleges in the country, one in Newmarket and one here in Doncaster. Today, I met trainees from Somerset and Scotland as well as from Goole and Doncaster. This college is outstanding and we should celebrate its work.”
Chief Executive, Colonel Stephen Padgett added: ““Caroline has been a valued supporter and friend of the Northern Racing College for years. She is as excited as I am about the initiative we’ve started this year, our Doncaster Equine College programme, that will provide general equine FE courses for learners from around Doncaster.
“I was delighted to welcome her to our first Annual Show today, raising awareness of DEC and promoting the excellent facilities.”
