RACING bosses are going into the match-making business – but strictly only for fun.

Thirsk Racecourse has launched a competition to find contestants for its very own Blind Date-style competition to coincide with Singles’ Party Night at the evening race meeting on June 24.

Those looking for love and who fancy an evening at the races too, should visit thirskracecourse.net and complete and return the application form, together with a photograph, for a chance to take part.

The contest will take place live on the night and the winning couple will receive a VIP race-date at Thirsk at a future meeting of their choice, including a romantic silver-service lunch for two, chocolates and champagne.
