Race Nights
A Race Night is a unique way to raise funds, and brings all the excitement of an evenings racing to your Club or Charity.
The races are sealed so that no-one can possibly know the results in advance. When all the bets are placed, a member of the audience selects a race and the seal is broken. Then the excitement begins!
We recommend selling the Tote Tickets at 50p or £1 each. The choice is yours, but stick to one price throughout the night. Betting is on a Win basis only.
At the close of betting simply enter on the Tabulator Form the number of tickets sold for each runner by deducting one number from the last ticket left in the book.
USEFUL HINTS TO ORGANISERS
Combine the Race Night with a buffet or disco and charge an entrance fee.
BOOKING YOUR RACE NIGHT WITH US
Approach potential sponsors for each race (suggest £20.00 per race). Their name or company name can then be printed on a personalised Race Card which we can supply.
Sell each runner to an owner for a suggested £5.00 each. Every owner's name can then be printed against their chosen runner.
Example - 8 race event
8 sponsors @ £20 each = £160.00
64 horses Sold @ £5 each = £320.00
Total Income = £480.00
8 winning owners receive £10 each = £ 80.00
Total profit = £400.00
Auction the runners of race 4 & 8. The highest bidder for each runner becomes the owner. 75% of the total auction money received is then paid to the winning owner or group of owners.
