Who's Attending Where?

Market Rasen for me today - first time on course since the festival 2020

I'm attending Newcastle on the Friday of Cheltenham's November meeting.

Been to the meeting a few times in the past and then had a night out in the Toon. They've changed it to a bloody all weather meeting though and I hadn't realised. At least I'll be able to bet at Cheltenham.

Talking of Cheltenham, the members badge popped through the door yesterday. The hotel is booked for the October meeting, and I can’t wait for the first visit of the season to HQ.

I was one of the lucky ones that got a ticket to the December meeting in the ballot last season, but a few of my friends haven’t been for 19 months now, as I’m sure is the case with many of you guys. I find myself looking forward to this season more than most. Hopefully Boris keeps his nose out and we get an uninterrupted season.

Champions day and the hennesssy coming up for me, i dare say there will be a Cheltenham or two as well !

Has anyone done Longchamp / Arc day and if so any recommendations? Looking to arrange next year early doors - Paris for the weekend shouldn’t be too difficult to get the buy in from the other half!

Been a couple of times, standard trip go over Friday, sightseeing Saturday including boat trip on the Seine, a climb up the Eiffel Tower (inside !) and a look round the spectacular Sacre-Coeur Basilica, races on Sunday and home again on Monday. Did call into Chantilly on the way back on one of the Mondays to check out the Museum Of The Horse and the Chateau de Chantilly which are both beside the Chantilly racecourse, home of the French Derby.

Was heading up to Aintree for the first time on the 24th anyway but secured a couple of O&t badges courtesy of a charity auction so really looking forward to my Aintree bow now

We always go upstairs in the glass fronted grandstand bar. Easy to get a beer or have a pee.Great viewing across whole of course from there. Straight down the stands at the front to all the on course bookies or down the stairs at the back to the bookmakers and food hall on the ground floor.
I've been going for the last 40 years and If you are having a bet in the big race DONT back Ante Post. The winner is regularly backed heavily on the day of the race and normally only an hour or so before off.

Excellent mate, thanks for that. I went to Newbury meeting in July a couple of days before covid restrictions were lifted and the crowd was capped at 5000, i think it was, it was table service through the app also, so couldn't really use that experience as a guide to the hennesssy !

Down Royal today Hopefully get to see the future Albertt Bartlett and Marsh winners!

Enjoy, going today and it's the first time I've wore a pair of trousers in over 18 months instead of jeans or gym gear.
