Scotty the Ascot Mascot runs in the Mascot Grand National

On Bank Holiday Monday 7th May, the Mascot Grand National will take place at Kempton Park Racecourse and our very own Scotty the Ascot mascot will compete to be crowned winner of the track.

Earlier this week Scotty took some time out of his busy schedule to put some training in ready for the big day next week, starting with a few lunges to get his muscles warmed up.

He then took to the track to do a couple of laps minus the specially made hurdles which will be on the track on the day at Kempton.

After a couple of minutes of training Scotty was exhausted and needed a rest and a large bucket of water!

We must remember that not only is this just a bit of fun but it’s also to raise money for this year’s nominated charity, Heart FM’s Have a Heart charity. The charity aims to improve the lives of disadvantaged children living in our local communities and this year is fundraising for ChildLine.



The Mascot Grand National is going to be a great day out for all the family and it would be great to see some of you there to cheer on Scotty. To book, visit www.kempton.co.uk or call 01932 782292.
