i recently attended a few meetings in the UK averaging $36 for basic gate admittance to average race meetings. Attended Newcastle supposed twilight meeting to view racing under floodlights but daylight saving meant I saw only the last in twilight mode.Hexham i does have a brilliant scenic backdrop but but very cold and basic amenities. Toodyay and Santa Anita certainly on a par.

Encountered the same when I was in the UK last year. The racebooks were horrible, maybe just been spoilt with Perth racebooks for so long, I struggle with racebooks over east as well, don't ever change the Perth form guides!.
Went out to York for what I thought was a standard race meeting, the fields/races certainly said that but when I got there it was the crowd bigger than our Super Saturdays! Will be back in the UK throughout June/July so will be heading to a few meetings in Northern England, have considered getting the train down south for one of the Royal Ascot days but haven't decided..
