The offer covers admission only and does not include travel, parking, or any other expenses. Tickets are non-transferable, have no cash value, and cannot be resold. It is also crucial to remember that horse racing is weather-dependent; always check the racecourse's official website or social media for updates before travelling, as abandoned fixtures will not be rescheduled under this offer.
The promotion for each specific event closes either five days before the race or when all tickets are claimed. The entire giveaway will conclude at 23:59 on Tuesday, 17 March 2026.
