WETHERBY RACECOURSE

Forward-thinking Wetherby Racecourse has galloped into the digital age as the first UK racecourse to launch a dedicated mobile website for the iPhone and other mobile smartphones.

The mobile site offers greater usability for those accessing the Internet whilst on the move and has upcoming fixture information including details of the latest ‘going’ on the course and directions to the venue. Users can also contact the racecourse team via email or can be instantly connected to the switchboard at the touch of a button.

And the racecourse management was so pleased with the new mobile site it named a race after it at their meeting on Saturday 5th December: "wetherbyracing.co.uk goes mobile with BluJam."

"This new and exciting development offers us a platform with which to provide our customers streamlined and specific information about the racecourse while they’re on the move, yet retaining the ability to access our main website for more detailed information."
