A Beginner's Guide to Horse Racing

If you're only ever watched horse racing on Tv and have never been to a race meeting then there are positive things you should know before you arrive so that you can make the most of your day out.

1.    Ensure that you arrive in plentifulness of time for the first race.  If you don't know the area, or are travelling a long way, you might want to leave additional time.  You should aim to allow 1 -1.5 hrs so that you can find your bearings, and see where the best vantage positions are. Also, remember that it will be very busy, so a journey you know well might take a lot longer on race day.

2.    It pays to dress smartly rather than casually.  Some areas have a definite dress code, so you'll need to check in strengthen that you'll be appropriately dressed.  There might be lots of walking involved, especially if you have to park far away, so relatively sensible footwear is a good idea.

3.    You'll need to remember money so you can place bets.  Most bookmakers will have a minimum bet of £5, but some may be lower and some will take cards.  You'll also need to buy a race card so that you know more about each race.  You might also want to bring binoculars and your camera too, so that you don't miss anything.  There are often large screens, so that you won't miss too much action.

4.    If you have a metal swing badge, rather than a ticket, you'll need to make sure that it is displayed prominently so that the officials can clearly see it.

5.    The paddock is where can you watch the horses parade around and see which one you like the look of.  It's well worth a visit so that you can conclude which one you'll back to win.  possibly you'll have already read the sports pages and know where your money's going.

6.    Don't forget to leave the paddock well before the start of the race so that you can be in place for the start of the race in plentifulness of time

7.    You might want to seek refreshments between each race, but remember that so will others, meaning that it can be busy. 

8.    Even if you did back the winner, it's not officially won until the "weighed in" announcement has been made.  You can't acquire your winnings until this announcement has been made.

9.    It's always worth going to the prize winning area and especially if your horse has won. You'll be able to see the winner and runners up close up, and might even spot a notable face or two.

10.    At the end of a busy day's at the races, remember that everyone will want to leave at the same time, so you'll need to be patient.  possibly you'll have already decided where you'll park, and how much time you'll allow, for the next time you come to a race meeting.

Now you know more about the day, what to wear, what to bring and what to expect, possibly it's time for you to go to a horse racing event for yourself.
