Notes

A Day At The Races - is an opportunity to go behind the scenes at Larkhill Racecourse.  Between races we will arrange for RoR Members to meet the Clerk of the Course, learn about the mechanics of a typical race day, visit the weighing room, declarations and judges box.  Join the owners in the paddock and see how the veterinary team care for horse welfare before, during and after each race.  Bring your own refreshments and packed lunch.  RoR Members will be encouraged to park together so please bring along family and friends.  

The day starts with a charity dash, raising money for RoR before the 1st Point to Point race at 12pm.  Please remember to dress for the weather.

Catering outlets, coffee, and a bar will be available for all on the day.  

Entry tickets are £15 per person, under 16 year olds go free.  E-Tickets will be sent by email 3-4 days in advance of the meeting.
