In total, over £28,000 was raised, funding a potential 17 missions for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
Seven ‘Hunter Chases’, spanning distances between two and four miles, took place during the evening as amateur riders and trainers competed at the ‘home of jump racing’. The charity’s hospitality event was sponsored by Birmingham-based Fishers Property & Lettings Management, the three-course meal and entertainment took place in the renowned National Hunt restaurant. Tickets also included a post-racing afterparty with live entertainment from the Chip Shop Boys,

“We would like to say a big thank-you to everyone who attended the event, including Fishers Property & Lettings Management. We’d also like to thank The Jockey Club who kindly allow us to use this event to raise awareness of our charity and raise money for our lifesaving missions.”
