Race Night

Post by 4008 »

The YWR would like to invite you to attend our first Race Night on Saturday 28 March at Driffield Showground members Pavilion from 7pm.

The event will run as follows:
– horse numbers will be allocated at random
– people who buy a horse and cannot make the race on the night will still receive the prize if their horse wins – please leave a contact number so we can notify you
– on the night, each race will be shown on the big screen
– attendees can bet on as many or as few horses as they fancy – stakes are in £1 increments
– odds and winning amounts are managed by the compère (RNPromotions)
– there may be an extra race at the end of the evening for which the horses will be auctioned among those present
Race Nights are great entertainment!

There are 64 horses in all to be sold at just £3 each

Everyone,

A reminder that our Race Night is coming up soon: Sat March 28th at Driffield Showground.

Before the event we need to find owners for the 64 horses.
They are just £3 each horse and if your horse wins a race, you'll get £6 back.
There are still 25 to sell, so come on all you budding/would-be horse owners - there's still time to own a winner!

We are also still looking for Race Sponsors for some of the races.


If you/your company/a company you know would like to sponsor a race for us, they are £25 and we will name the race on the night e.g. The MyBusiness Gold Cup and advertise the sponsor during the evening.

If you just fancy a punt, turn up on the night.

Entry is FREE for horse owners/race sponsors or just £1 otherwise.

Bring your own alcohol. Light refreshments will be on sale.

To buy horses/sponsor a race or for any other questions, email events@yorkshirewoldsrailway.org.uk, call 07929 954868 or call in on site.

The Grand National's just a few weeks away, so why not get into the racing spirit early?

There are just a handful of horses for our Race Night left, so if you're wanting to be an owner, get in quick!
Also, if anyone else wants to sponsor a race, or has a business that would like to sponsor a race at £25, there are still a couple left.

Otherwise, you can still join the racing bug by coming along on next Saturday evening :-)
If there's a good turn out, we may have an additional race for which we will auction the horses to people present on the night.

All horses are now sold. Thanks to everyone who is now an owner - and good luck!
We will be randomly allotting horse numbers this week and will notify owners.

Don't forget you can still come along on the night to have a gamble on the races - entry is just £1.
