Tuesday, October 18 First race 2.10-pm

Racing features the Best Mate Novices’ Chase and the equivalent race launched the racehorse’s glittering career in 2002. To celebrate the horse’s association with the course, Exeter is offering a special “best mate” deal to anyone who brings their friend racing for the first time. If they pre-book by Oct 16 and their details are new to the data base, they both get in for the price of one (call 0844 5793005 and quote BMATE). Best Mate went on to win 3 successive Gold Cup victories and became one of the nation’s most loved racehorses. This is also a free raceday for all students.

Tuesday, November 1 First race 1.50pm

Featuring the Tote Haldon Gold Cup, this is traditionally a real highlight of the National Hunt season and the first major prize for the country’s top two mile chasers. It has an outstanding roll call of winners including Best Mate, Flagship Uberalles, Barnbrook Again, Waterloo Boy and Edredon Bleu. The racecourse will also be supporting the Royal British Legion with a charitable collection.

It’s Prize Winners’ Day at Exeter Racecourse when all you have to do to win some great prizes, including a year’s supply of Burts Chips, is turn up.
