One of our favorite days all year. Love the horses, the track, the friendly people. Can't wait until Haskell Day 2024!
First class atmosphere and Craig David did not dissappoint for 90 minute set. Awesome experience.
As always the organisation at the Knavesmire surpasses all expectations
Exciting time at Sandown Park Racecourse! Lots of people, lots of fun
Melrose club York Races great place to enjoy your day at the races from start to finish,staff very helpful and professional our party were looked after by our severs Phebe and Dan they did an outstanding job,race course was in very good condition raceing was on point would highly recommend for enyone
I wrote a previous review but I will give my name because I forgot to add something really important. I spent a lot of money for my seats which were GREAT. But there weren’t enough programs so I didn’t get one, I had to stand on a 30 minute line for a drink, or get food, and there were a lot of other inconveniences due to the huge number of people that were there. It is not fair to those of us who pay a lot for our seats to compete with a million other people with $40 GA tickets for food, water, drinks and programs. YOU SELL FAR TOO MANY CHEAP GA TICKETS. It turned what would have been a great experience as I’m a real fan into an honestly miserable experience. Or maybe you should let us bring in food, alcohol, and water and charge the people with cheap tickets for those things. I don’t mind paying for them. I very much minded the lines and things I couldn’t get.
I had great seats, great view. Negatives were than they ran out of the free Secretariat program they said they were going to distribute. I collect memorabilia so that was important to me. I also think you should have done more to celebrate Secretariat’s 50th anniversary but that’s just my opinion. I also couldn’t buy a Program because the credit card machines weren’t working when I came in. Another major negative was having to wait on line for 30 mins for a drink. And forget about food. Next time you need a lot more vendors for that many people. And if you say you’re giving something away, actually do it.
Fabulous day at the Severn Restaurant as usual. Food was top class and the staff were amazing. Nothing too much trouble. Will be there again next year
Great day out
Well run event. Plenty of clean toilets. Food and bar choices were great. Highly recommend a visit.
Race day with family. Atmosphere fantastic and horse’s amazing
This was my first Preakness and I loved it! I purchased the Mug and Vine package and honestly only used the unlimited drink option once because it was more convenient to just buy beverages at other areas since the pours were small and forced you to have to enter a corral to get a refill (definitely could be better organized inside the tent). Needless to say, next time I’ll try the clubhouse option and save navigating the crowds to view the races and get sustenance to the festival minded crowds. So although the infield activities were were great to experience, I think I’d prefer to enjoy the majority of my time in the Grandstand, Clubhouse, or Turfside Terrace next year and then enter the infield sparingly.
This was a great experience. Was on my bucket list. At 75 this event was easy to get around in. Parking at the fair grounds and riding the bus right to the gate on Oaks and Derby day was a breeze. Everyone at the event were so helpful. We met so many new people and made new friends. If you have thought about going please go on and book for next year. This will be derby 150 so it should be big.

Good day had by all
Brilliant
A great day out at the racing
We did have a great day , service at red rum restaurant (table7) was perfect waiter outstanding always on the lookout if anybody needs a drink, one minus is 4 people missed on a starter as had none pork left so that was a bit disappointing, after that fantastic day, best venue in Scotland
Far too many people for a course that just doesn’t have the facilities to cope
Total disorganisation at bars and toilets stood 45min to get a drink took 20min to get through crowds to get outside and to cap it all another 40min que for toilets. Left before grandnational, won't be back
Great venue for racing. I was in the Frontrunner restaurant and had excellent food and service. However, I was appalled with the bill for 2 chicken sandwiches. In addition, there was an additional service charge for who knows what? 2 chicken sandwiches, 1 cheap bottle of wine, and a dessert was $225.00.... Riduculous
