Video Racing Nights
How to run a successful Video Horse Race Night.
A useful guide written by Entire Occasions Entertainment Agency.
A race night / event is a race meeting that comes to you!
With the equipment in place (Video Projection, Large Screen, PA and
if required, race decor) the evening begins with the introductory
film, which sets the scene and explains the rules. The tote is the
opened for the first race and betting begins, with your guests
buying corresponding tote tickets for the horse or horses of their
choice.
If you are FUND-RAISING real cash is used to purchase tickets and
before the lucky winners collect their money a percentage is
deducted for the charity (and expenses). You are able to keep the
cost down by asking for volunteers to work with the compere on the
tote.
If CORPORATE FUN is the order of the day we are able to distribute
race cards and fun money to your guests prior to the first race and
the object is to gain as much fun money as possible by the end of
the event. Prizes are then awarded to the highest earners.
On a corporate event we recommend that we staff the tote desk with
our hospitality staff (dressed in jockey silks) and extra fun money
can be earned by answering certain race related questions or perhaps
winning a hobby horse race???
You may wish to have us auction horses in one of the races or indeed
sell the horses prior to the event and produce your own race cards
with the owner’s name printed in the programme.
As you can see lots of fun can be had at the races, to discuss your
race event give us a call at the office.
