What happens on the day?

Gates open around 2 to 3 hours before the first race, please check with the racecourse for confirmed timings, especially as race times are subject to change. You are advised to arrive in advance so you have time to familiarise yourself with the facilities, enjoy a drink and perhaps grab a bite to eat from one of the many food and drink outlets onsite (food is not included but can be purchased on the day for an extra charge).

Pick up your race programme before you head to the bar to redeem your voucher for a welcome drink? Dont forget to make your way to the paddock around 30 minutes before the first race where you can see the horses parade and look for your winner. Place your bets before watching the first race and seeing the winning owners celebrate on the podium.
