I think courses should give some thought to this
Anorak day? Cheese and pickle sandwiches and prize for worst dressed?
Coffin dodgers day? Extra toilets and commentary turned up.to 500 decibels?
Any others?
They would need to hose them down before entry.
Wouldbt be a good atmosphere either. All that “how much!” At every bloody food and drink outlet
Car park would be empty but buses overflowing like an indian railway
“No Riff Raff” Day.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I was going to suggest a homeless day with open tanks of industrial cider and a free cardboard box to take home but I wont because it will get someone here frothing at the mouth and I suppose some might find it not very nice
“No No Socks” Day – that’ll confuse them.

BUY THE SUN
Talking about 45 or 50 years or so now but my local dog track used to have a Ladies Day with all female adults receiving a gift as they entered the track.
One gift I remember was a slim pen with a fake pearl on a chain attached to it, all in a case.
The place was packed!
Could do this for Men’s or Ladies.
On entry, a raffle ticket is given and the during the meeting a draw is made concerning a race towards the end of the meeting.
Say if said race had 10 runners, as the draw is made each ticket is allocated a horse number i.e. the first drawn gets horse no.1, second drawn get no.2 etc.
For the race those ten ticket holders maybe invited into an area of the paddock to watch their horse parade, just as if they were the owner.
The race is then run and depending how much the racetrack wants to put into all this, prize money is distributed depending where the horse finishes e.g. 1st place gets £500, 2nd £250, 3rd £100 and so on, but even the last place to receive an amount.
In summary, this whole event would have provided a memorable raceday experience for a number and could be replicated at any track at any time.
“Drugs and Stella day”
First day of any “festival”. Get rid of the police dogs and let them all wipe each other out so actual racing fans can enjoy the rest of the meeting from day two onwards.
Really like that idea GSP, and it could work as an idea in its own right – not necessarily linked to themes such as Ladies’ Day.

Value Is EverythingHow about ” Political affiliation day ” , Tory day would see a everyone saying they,d picked the winner of every race ( despite each race being 28 runner handicaps ) and getting the t\c ( Boris Kim Jong tells the drivers they’ve all done a great job and how he wants a grey zebra of his own ) , no parties allowed on course but you can bring a bottle , and at the end of the meeting on leaving the course all parties are required to wave there winnings at those common working class folks while screaming …..rar rar rar , down with the oinks ……Reece Mog declares the day a total success then takes Boris by the hand while walking to the lowering sun of dusk ..
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
‘The Woke Brigade would never allow it.’
Quite right too. I’m a member of The Woke Brigade ™ but also enjoy Stella and drugs so I’d prefer to be able to do so after day one of a festival.
