OR

OPTION B - 15 Complimentary General Admittance Badges

To claim this option, please contact the specific syndicates email address that will be included in the letter your receive from the racecourse, noting the names of those who you wish to attend, and clearly noting the syndicate leader to whom paddock passes shall be allocated.

DOUBLE UP BONUS SCHEME
 
Fakenham is changing its Double Up Bonus Scheme to make it simpler and more achievable to win. From 1st January until 4th June, if a trainer has two or more winners on the same card, irrespective of the race conditions or the number of runners in a race, the winning owner of each race will get a £1,000 bonus payment on top of the prize money received. In addition, the winning trainer will also get a £1,000 bonus payment if having two more or winners. The course believes this is the first bonus scheme that directly rewards the trainer as well as the owner.
 
NEW FOR 2023
 
Fakenham has reaffirmed their commitment of making the owners’ and trainers’ experience a fun and memorable one. To this end, they have doubled the size of the Cool Roxy O&T Bar over the summer, have built a new female jockey’s changing room and made internal changes to the weighing room to comply with the new BHA 2024 standards. Finishing touches are also being made to a new indoor public facility and bar in the Grandstand and Paddock Enclosure which will pour its first pints at the meeting on Sunday 18th December.

As a reminder:
 

  • All our races are worth more than the required minimum value.
  • All races have free entry.
  • All winning owners receive unique memento bags of local Norfolk products.
  • All races have at least a £50 cash best turned-out horse award.
  • The winning yard takes home two large boxes of Kettle Chips.
  • Placed connections receive a cheering up bottle of gin.
