I'm off here next month, I'm a raceday virgin and know naff all about horses so any tips would be gratefully received from ant gents with a bit of knowledge. Any things to look out for or should I just stick a pin in the programme??

Any idea what rough funds would be needed for a full days beer session/lunch & roughly £10-£20 a race.

Cheers

Which enclosure Gaz ?

Bottled beer

Heineken £3.80
Magners £4.30
London Pride £3.80
Jug Pimms £20.00
Bottle House Wine Muscadet/Shiraz £19.60
House Champagne £43.00
Draught Beer £3.80
Draught Guinness £4.10

Food. Fish & Chips
Seafood
Indian
Italian

£10-12

Sandwiches £3.50 upwards.

Meals - best to eat before you get there to be honest.

If you are on the piss take £200 at least.

Go to Jagz bar by the station afterwards (unless you are getting the coach home) for the craic. Watch out for pickpockets, pikeys selling heather and scammers selling tips.

Now thats what you call info. Nice one Harry.
Not sure about which enclosure, I've just paid £30 for coach travel & entry so can't be anywhere very fancy.
Cheers for the heads up on pick pockets, We don't get back till around 2am I've been warned so I think we're stopping down there for a bit afterwards.

Yeah, just text me m8 who's sorting it all. It's the silver circle we're going in.
What tabloid has the more reliable tipster?? I've always followed templegate/The sun's tips when we've had our little tipster challenge on here.

I'm going to the Derby and Royal Ascot in June - absolute virgin to it all, but getting hugely excited.

Can only imagine how mental the Saturday @ Ascot will be...

In the last three years Friday has been even busier than Thursday (Ladies Day) or Saturday (probably the quietest day). Well worth the wait, though.
