ALDER DEMAIN AKERS STAN MELLOR CHASE DAY

 

The Stan Mellor Chase Day honours one of the sports finest – Stan Mellor, the pioneering jockey, trainer, and the first to ride 1,000 Jump winners – with a seven-race card headlined by the Stan Mellor Novices’ Steeple Chase. Expect competitive fields, tight finishes, and that unmistakable Warwick atmosphere as racing history takes centre stage.

 
Alongside this celebration of equestrian greatness we pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of our Armed Forces. Military veterans receive discounted entry with valid ID, and the day opens with a poignant Last Post ceremony and wreath laying at 11.30. Military charities will be on course, sharing their vital work and ways to show support.
 
It’s a memorable blend of heritage, remembrance, and top-class racing – a day every racing fan and supporter will want to be part of.

JETS Richard Davis Awards

JETS RDA Logo.jpg

Warwick Racecourse is proud to once again host the prestigious JETS Richard Davis Awards on Tuesday 3 November 2026.

The awards celebrate the achievements of current and former jockeys who have built successful careers both during and beyond their time in the saddle.

At the 2025 awards, former jockey Thomas Brown was named the Richard Davis Award winner in recognition of his inspiring career transition to the East of England Ambulance Service.

New for 2026 is the IJF Enterprise Award, recognising former jockeys who have demonstrated entrepreneurship, innovation and initiative in developing their own business or enterprise.

We’re delighted to welcome the JETS community back to Warwick for this special celebration of the achievements, journeys and new opportunities of jockeys beyond the saddle.

Remembering Stan Mellor
