Racecard Preview & Jargon Buster
When you buy your tickets online, we’ll send you an email the day before your racemeeting which will feature a downloadable racecard for your raceday featuring the runners and riders in each race including the jockeys’ colours. This will help you familiarise yourself with the races you’ll be watching the next day.
We’ll also send you a downloadable list of racing jargon which you might find useful and which you can take with you on the day.
Pen or pencil
It's worth taking a pencil or pen to jot down any notes on your racecard about the horses you see in the parade ring and to note your selection before you go to the bookmakers to place your bet.
Binoculars
It's also worth considering taking a set of binoculars, which will help you to get a better view of the race when horses are at the far side of the course.
Umbrella
Whilst there are obviously sheltered areas at every racecourse, a lot of your time will be spent in the open air so make sure you check the weather before leaving so that, if necessary, you can take an umbrella.
Cash
Some racecourses have cash machines but not all, so it’s worth making sure you take enough cash so you can buy a racecard, have a bet and buy some food and drink.
Picnic
This obviously depends on the weather but many courses have special picnic areas, generally located within the centre of the course area where you can park your car and enjoy a picnic.
