Stockton Hall in Malpas will open its doors to the public later this month.

Cheshire-based racehorse trainers Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, who have achieved success on the racetrack, particularly with a standout victory in the Arkle Challenge Trophy (Grade 2) at Cheltenham with their flagbearer Homme Public, will welcome visitors to their facilities on Tuesday, October 29.

The duo are keen to get more people involved in the sport and are inviting the public to a free open day at Stockton Hall.

The event will provide an insight into how top-level racehorses are trained and the opportunity to get involved in shared racehorse ownership.

Mr Greenall said: "Josh and I really enjoy introducing new people to our amazing sport and you can just see the fascination and joy on people’s faces which makes it so worthwhile.

"At our National Racehorse Week event in September, we allowed everyone to wander around the yard freely and enjoy learning about what it takes to train racehorses and see firsthand how these incredible athletes are cared for.

"We can’t wait to welcome members of the public on Tuesday, October 29 at Stockton Hall to have a look at our facilities and discuss our shared ownership options."

The open day will be followed by the chance to attend an afternoon of racing at Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse, where the yard has sponsored a race.

The trainers recently launched the North West National Hunt Racing Club, a new initiative providing behind-the-scenes access to the racing industry, bespoke trips to Newmarket and Aintree, and free entry at eight racecourses in the North West.

Members of the club will also gain entry to the Friday Festival Zone at the Aintree Grand National Festival, which includes viewing the closing stages of every race, viewing access to the parade ring and winner’s enclosures, and access to the Red Rum Garden with live music.

As part of the club, members will also have a 2.5 per cent club membership in Lautrec De Cougny and the chance to attend owner’s mornings at the yard on the first Saturday of each month.

Shared ownership ambassador Frankie Foster said: "I have watched many syndicate horses come back into the parade ring and there’s nothing like the thrill of shared ownership.

"Whether you’re in a syndicate of five or 50, it takes a day at the races to a whole new level and there are so many different options if you want to get involved."

The initiative also offers regular owners’ activities, including private access trips and behind-the-scenes experiences, as well as regular opportunities to see other horses on the gallops and meet other owners at the yard.

Last month, the trainers welcomed 550 members of the public, including former MP and television star Gyles Brandreth, to their yard for National Racehorse Week.
