Eight racing teams will do battle in the Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) Racing to Cricket day at the prestigious Wormsley Cricket Ground to win this year's RoR Racing to Cricket Trophy Sunday, 4 Sept. Now in its third year, the day's cricket action will be enjoyed by over 240 guests attending the sell-out fund-raising day at the private estate of the Getty family.

A total of eleven lots will go under the hammer with renowned charity auctioneer Martin Pope at 1:30pm during an exclusive live auction and raffle event on the fund-raising day. In advance of the day bids can be made up to 5:00pm Saturday, 3 Sept. by emailing rorauction@ror.org.uk. Racing fans can bid for membership of the Kingsclere Racing Club for 2023, a day to experience Newmarket for eight people; with lunch and an exclusive visit to Banstead Manor Stud to meet the legendary Frankel donated by Juddmonte, to name a couple.

Also going under the auctioneer's hammer is a race sponsorship package at Stratford racecourse, and two nominations for the 2023 season to stallions standing at Overbuy Stud: Ardad (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), a leading first-crop sire in 2021 with the G1 winner Perfect Power, and young National Hunt sire Jack Hobbs (GB) (Halling), winner of the G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby and G1 Longines Dubai Sheena Classic.
