What is a race Night?
- Imagine a room full of people looking at the big screen, watching their horse gallop towards the finishing line.
- It can be an exhilarating experience, and a wonderfully entertaining way to raise funds and have fun at the same time.
- You can sell Sponsors in advance of the event. You can also sell Horses on the night. Combining both together makes your event a sure-fire winner.
- It’s a fun packed lottery where everybody has an equal chance to win. It’s fun for the complete racing beginner and expert alike and every race contains eight runners that you can name yourself or use the fun names we provide.
- Can we make a loss on the betting The simple answer is NO, you only pay out a percentage of the money you receive.

For Example:
If, on the first race you took a total of £100 spread over the eight horses in the race. You split this money in two. 50% of the money taken (£50) goes into your fund raising pot; the other 50% is divided amongst the winning ticket holders. If you had 10 winning tickets they would receive £5 per ticket, if you had 20 winning tickets they would win £2.50.
The favourite would be the horse that sells the most amount of tickets in the race. The outsider would be the horse that sells the least.
There is no need for a licence as you are raising funds for a non-commercial event.
