Free entry to racecourses! I have found out that eight racecourses have signed up to the Racing For Change initiative which will offer free entry over a six-day period! Racing For Change is led by Racing Enterprises Limited (REL). It will start on Monday 26 April and run through till Saturday 1 May. The aim is to encourage people do go horse racing who have never been before. Personally I think this is a wonderful idea. I have a lot of friends who have never been racing and would like to but when I tell them the cost involved suddenly they are not as keen! The most annoying thing is that I know they would love it but just can't afford to spend so much money on one day out. A group of us try to go once a year but it would be nice if we could go more often. I truly hope that this offer will increase the volume of visitors to such an extent that racecourses realise that perhaps the entry fees are too high. The fixtures to be covered are:
If you would like to apply for free entry please email tryracingforfree@racingenterpriseslimited.co.uk stating which fixture you are interested in attending. You will then be emailed full information when it becomes available. Racing For Change has been set up to make horse racing relevant to the leisure consumer of today. Research was done throughout the industry and the REL have ten trial initiatives. One of the initiatives is to show photo finishes on big screens. I love this idea. Having studied a few of these pictures it is very interesting to see just how close it is sometimes. It will be a nice way for the racegoers to feel more involved and truly appreciate the photo finish.
