Boxing Day Done and Dusted....

That's it for another year, Boxing Day 2011 has now been and gone, and what a great day it was! With over 3500 happy race goers enjoying the festivities, it really was a fantastic day had by all. Both Horizons and The Ringside Restaurant were jam packed with hungry diners enjoying the festive fare. Our Grandstand was also packed with happy punters and the Premier lounge was the busiest its been for a very long time. A big thank you to everyone who came and shared their Boxing Day with us, your happy smiling faces really did make the day worth while. The entertainment on the day, from the steel drummer in the morning to Donchez finishing off proceedings in The Ringside Restaurant, really was fantastic fun, and we are sure they will perform at the racecourse again!
