How it works
Everyone needs to buy a ticket to attend the event and enter the races. On the night, 9 recorded horse races will be shown on our big screen. You can win cash prizes by betting on the races and/or owning horses.
Betting
You can bet however much you choose you on any number of horses in each race and in any number of races.
Bets are sold in £1 denomination tickets on the night.
The odds are calculated based on the amount bet in that race in the usual way.
Those who backed the winning horse get paid out their stake x the odds + their stake back.
We can’t take each-way or place bets (or anything more complicated!).
Buying horses
In each race, you also have the option to buy a horse. There are 8 available per race sold on a first come first served basis.
You can buy as many horses as you like for as many races as you like.
Horses cost £5 each when bought in advance and are available to buy for 7 out of the 9 races. Click the buttons on this page to buy entry tickets and horses.
On Race Night there will be an auction of any horses that have not been pre-purchased plus the 8 runners in each of the remaining 2 races - races 5 and 9. Horses will be sold to the highest bidder - it’s a fundraiser after all!
If the horse you own wins the race you win half of the total money spent on horses in that race, so for the 7 advance purchase races that will be winnings of £20. For the auction races, the sky’s the limit!
You can bet on any horse in any race including your own.
