Mel’s Night Prizes
Race Night This Saturday
Saturday 8th November 2008
Horses have been for sale over the last fortnight, those who have bought a horse will have their names and the names of their horse read out before each race. The winning owner wins prize money.
Come Saturday night when the fun really starts bet on the wining horses from several races. We run the Tote (the betting desk), and show the films. all money will be paid back to the winner ‘s of the race’s.
Each film is sealed, so that nobody knows which horse will win. A film is selected at random by one of the audience /member after the betting is complete. The seal is then broken and the film projected onto the screen. That’s when the excitement really begins as members cheer on their own horse. It’s as simple as that.
The last two race of the evening the horses are auctioned off, this is where you really can win some money, if you are prepared to buy a horse.
