mowgli77 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned on here yet. A number of courses are offering free entry throughout April and all you have to do is apply online for tickets. I know we have a few shandy drinking southerners on here that like to take in Windsor on a Monday night, well Windsor is on here, as are Sandown and Epsom. :lol For us Northern, flat cap wearing whippet lovers there is Ripon, Ponty and Donny. I've already ordered 4 tickets for Ponty on Tuesday 5th April and got 2 tickets for Donny on 29th April. I understand there have already been 14,000 applications for Donny and it's on the day of the Royal Wedding. I don't want to be having a street party and waving my little union jack flag as Wills and his bird tie the knot, I'd rather be cheering on a gee gee at the races. For all you big jocks there is Musselburgh racecourse offering free entry and is Perth up your way too. Even the sheep sh@ggers don't get left out as Ffos Las offer free entry on 11th April. Finally for our ginger punters there is Newbury on 15th April and Ascot on 27th. If you are a fairly new punter on here and have never been racing then you've no excuse now, get yourself online and booked for a day at the races. :ok Website and details here: www.lovetheraces.com Full list of fixtures: Friday 1st– Musselburgh, East Lothian Friday 1st– Wolverhampton (evening), West Midlands Friday 1st– Newcastle, Tyne & Wear Saturday 2nd– Kempton Park, Middlesex Sunday 3rd– Market Rasen, Lincolnshire Monday 4th – Windsor, Berkshire Tuesday 5th– Pontefract, West Yorkshire Wednesday 6th– Nottingham, Nottinghamshire Thursday 7th– Hereford, Herefordshire Thursday 7th– Ripon, North Yorkshire Monday 11th– Ffos Las, Carmarthenshire Monday 11th– Wolverhampton, West Midlands Tuesday 12th– Towcester (evening), Northamptonshire Wednesday 13th– Catterick, North Yorkshire Wednesday 13th– Southwell (evening), Nottinghamshire Wednesday 13th– Newmarket, Cambridgeshire Thursday 14th– Sedgefield (evening) – County Durham Thursday 14th – Beverley, East Yorkshire Friday 15th – Newbury, Berkshire Friday 15th– Brighton (evening), East Sussex Monday 18th – Redcar, Tees Valley Monday 18th – Towcester, Northamptonshire Wednesday 20th– Epsom Downs, Surrey Wednesday 20th – Kempton Park (evening), Middlesex Easter Day - Sunday 24th– Sandown Park, Surrey Wednesday 27th – Ascot, Berkshire Wednesday 27th – Perth, Perthshire Friday 29th – Doncaster, South Yorkshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayalexander Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Re: Go Racing for free in April I posted up a thread about the free Doncaster meet. Didn't know it was an industry-wide thing until the the other day. They've sent me two pairs of tickets anyway, so I won't be needing one - the first to PM me can have them, if you don't want to apply.
