Salisbury's two big races of the season take place at our next race meeting - 'Salisbury Splendour' - on Wednesday 13th August and Thursday 14th August. The opening day features the £50,000 EBF Upavon Fillies Stakes, a Listed contest over 1 mile & 2 furlongs, won last year by the top class filly Promising Lead. The second day features the season's most valuable race at Salisbury - the £65,000 toteswinger Sovereign Stakes, a Group 3 race, for colts and geldings, over 1 mile.

This two day race meeting is geared up for families and entertainments will be provided for children both days including a bouncy castle, children's activity tent, penalty shootout (Wed), pulsar lazar game (Thurs) and face painters.
