This is a great days racing -

http://www.uttoxeter-racecourse.co.uk/horse-racing/fixture-details.php?detailId=169

Direct trains from Manc to the Course (literally step off the train onto the course) for £13 taking 1 and a bit hours.

Back to Manc on the evening train (usually great fun), loads of cash games/tournaments going on a saturday night in Manc as well as the best night out available up north.

Loads of cheap hotels.

Could also go from nottingham, that takes about an hour on the train - dtd after.

Monday nights at Windsor are very nice but might not be ideal in terms of timings for a lot of people.

Works for me Cheesy

I went to this meeting last year:

http://www.leopardstown.com/Leopardstown/Fixtures/09-August-2012/

Tiny crowd, great racing (Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes), pub on the course and music after racing.

Then went to Shelbourne Park dogs on the Friday evening (best meal I've had at the dogs ever)

On the piss in Dublin after the dogs, home Saturday!

Blimey Keith I must have done a version of this around 5-6 times the last 2 years but added Harolds Cross dogs and the Sporting Emporium for poker too.

Day after Cheltenham festival finishes.

I'll be hung over definitely and skint probably.

No go for me.

Sounds like a plan then!

The last time I went to Harrolds Cross I had a table in the restaurant and one of the Tote girls taking bets at table. She asked if I wanted to buy some raffle tickets so I took a tenners worth, I've never win a raffle in my life so treated it as just adding to the value. I somehow managed to win the first prize which was a flat screen TV, the problem was I was getting on a plane back home the morning after and it was a pretty big thing, i ended up selling it to the guy on the next table for about 150 euro.

ball park cost for non ballers?

If you book a flight a long way in advance should be less than £50.

Hotel? Should be able to find one in the city centre for £50-70 per night.

Entry to the races? £10

Entry and dinner at the dogs? £20

Gambling/drinking money? Your choice!
