RENTON CELEBRATES 'GLORIOUS DAYS'
 
At the conclusion of The November Meeting Ian Renton, Regional Director (Cheltenham and the South West) of The Jockey Club, was delighted with the three days of racing.
 
Renton said: "It's been a really great three days. We started off with a really nice day for Countryside Day - record attendance and some lovely racing.
 
"Saturday was one of those glorious days where we had plenty of runners, really competitive racing and again a fantastic crowd of nearly 33,000 people.
 
"Today we have seen some unbelievable events commemorating Armistice Day. It has been brilliant working with Rupert de Mauley, Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars and Dame Janet Trotter, the outgoing Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, to stage this day. They have put a huge amount of effort into today. We have seen lovely parades and static displays and a brilliant air display and I think everyone has had a fantastic time with great racing, a crowd of 17,674 and superb weather.
 
"Overall, we have had a really nice three days' racing with a total crowd of 72,886 people, more than 4,000 higher than at last year's meeting."
