Owls’ mascots Ozzie and Barney are in full training this week ahead of The Mascot Gold Cup race on April 26^th, which promises to be a hoot.

The race is hailed as ‘The World’s Largest Mascot Race’ held at Wetherby Races and raises money for charities including Sue Ryder Care. Previous races have raised over £50,000 for charity and Ozzie and Barney were keen to join in the 2009 race, as it looks to be the biggest one yet with around 100 mascots expected to turn out.
