Race Night

*** ALL HORSES ARE NOW SOLD FOR OUR RACENIGHT, BUT YOU CAN STILL BUY ONE IN OUR LAST RACE BY AUCTION ***

The Club’s annual race night is to take place at the club on Saturday 8th June. The first race will start at about 7.30 or depending how quickly the cricket finishes. Please come down and support the club beforehand and watch some exciting cricket. Both the 1st and 4th teams are at home.

Race sponsors are still sought for six races at a price of £50 per sponsor. Each race has 8 horses and owners are able to own a horse for £10 with the winning owner receiving £40 back. You have the chance to name your horse and bask in the glory of winning a classic.

The final race horses may be purchased by auction on the night. We already have a few telephone bidders lined up so competition will be fierce to secure some prime equine investments.

The betting is a tote system so bets of £1 upwards are welcome and it is a night of great excitement. Food is available and assuming all goes to plan the evening will conclude at about 10.00pm.

Please support your club by buying horses or sponsoring a race. Please contact Tim Buckley 07801 787901 or tim.buckley@moyallen.co.uk for further details.
