Trainer Mark Walford has challenged course maestro Bit Of A Quirke to gain immediate dividends at Beverley’s first meeting of the season on Wednesday.
The popular six-year-old has become a standing dish on the Westwood, with his quenchless thirst for a battle having endeared himself to racegoers.
In 2018, Stevie Rial from Beverley, owner-editor of Road Racing News, interviewed 365 road racers with his ‘Ten Question Challenge’ on www.roadracingnews.co.uk.
The huge success of the challenge inspired his first book, Who’s Your Hero?
Beverley ARLFC suffered their first defeat at home in over a year as they lost to Crosfields. For some time the Beverley Leisure Centre has been a fortress for Beverley.
This game saw the blue and golds somewhat out-muscled by a physically bigger and more experienced outfit from Warrington.
Beverley RUFC entertained Old Brodleians in the last match of the season at Beaver Park in this Yorkshire League Division 1 game and what a cracking match it turned out to be.
Brodlieans kicked off towards the clubhouse and as Beverley mounted an attack up the right flank an interception from a sloppy pass in the Beverley backs led to a try to Brods in the third minute (0-5). Play then settled down with each side sharing possession in the midfield.
Beverley ARLFC will welcome Crosfields to the Beverley Leisure Centre as they return to National Conference League Action.
Scott Taylor and his side will be looking to continue their impressive home form and make it three straight wins.
Award-winning Beverley Racecourse is launching an action-packed 2019 season with an Easter-themed raceday packed with family activities, including a “magical” Easter tree adorned with 500 chocolate eggs!
The family-friendly Westwood venue has teamed up with Pocklington-based chocolatier, Butterflies Chocolate, to host the Easter tree hung with real chocolate eggs, as well as egg-decorating workshops.
Bishop Burton College has been selected as the venue for a highly prestigious equestrian event featuring some of the finest young talents in the country.

Beverley ARLFC came close to winning their first away game of the season, only to be pegged back by Wigan St Judes.

Beverley ARLFC will hit the road in the National Conference League as they travel to the bottom side, St Wigan Judes.
Scott Taylor will be hoping his side can secure what would be their first away win of the season.
Local football teams are being urged by the East Riding Country FA to inspect pitches. The warning comes after a blade was discovered on a playing surface.
East Riding County FA says the discovery of the blade on the pitch in the East Riding just highlights the need to carry our inspections.
With several of their most influential players absent, this looked like being a tough afternoon for Beverley. Not a bit of it. This was an altogether absorbing match and a fine performance by the young Beverley side.
In recognition of the Club’s annual Ladies Day, they turned out in pink shirts and flowery shorts but mercifully did not play accordingly. Far from being a drab end of season affair, this was a cracking game with some top quality play by both sides.
Clock Face Miners earned their first points of the season and they defeated Beverley ARLFC 44-28 in the National Conference League.
Head coach Scott Taylor was disappointed with this latest defeat which sees the blue and golds still without a win on the road.
Beverley ARLFC are back in National Conference League action this weekend. Scott Taylor and his side face a trip to bottom club Clock Face Miners.
Taylor will be hoping his side can come up with the goods and claim what would be their first away win at the third time of asking.
By far the most famous horse race in the world, excitement is building ahead of the 2019 Grand National meeting at Aintree.
The iconic Merseyside racecourse is set to host a crowd of around 150,000 during the three-day event, which features 21 races and of course, the main event itself on Saturday 6th April.
While Beverley is only a small town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, it has had many notable people grow up and go on to do great things.
One of the things that the people of Beverley are very proud of is the large number of sports people who have come from Beverley and managed to perform well on the world stage.
The Grand National is famously difficult to predict, and one that isn’t always a kind race for the favourites. Indeed, we have seen many big-priced winners in recent years, including the 66/1 shot Aurora’s Encore, trained by Yorkshire-based Sue Smith.
However, this year there is such momentum behind last year’s winner, Tiger Roll, that it would be considered something of a shock if the Gordon Elliott trained horse does not pass the finish line first on Saturday evening.
