Race Night – Saturday 16th July 2016

The next social event is the  race night on Saturday 16th July down the club from 8pm.

You can own a horse for £1 and the winning owner will receive a drinks voucher to the value of £5. If you wish to own a horse please contact Peter Reynolds

There will also be betting on the night with the first 6 races being £1 per ticket bet, except the last race where it will be £2 per ticket bet. This will be a tote style method of betting, so winnings will depend on how many or few have backed the winning horse.

The live race will also be a feature, so I am sure Charlie Puncher and Nakul Patel will be declaring themselves as runner and rider again to defend their crown from last year. If anyone wishes to declare themselves as a runner and a jockey for the live race then please let either Biren or myself know. We will require 8 runners in total. The criteria will be more strict this year in each rider/jockey must wear a helmet and carry a single stump.

The final race of the night will also attract a potential £100 prize, as there will be a tri-cast board, currently behind the bar, which is £1 per square. Tri cast  squares are already shifting so please see Warren, Keith or Biren and if your square has the top 3 finishers in the correct order on the last race, then the winnings will be yours. Just put your £1 in the pot and write your name on the tri-cast board.

Please bring along family and friends as this was a very entertaining night last year.
