Virtual Race Night

Virtual Race Night

Richard Williams18 Apr 2020 - 10:22

Sat 2nd May - 8pm

The club will be running an online race night via the technical wizardry of Daniel Gillham on Saturday 2nd May, first race 8pm.

There will be 7 races of 8 horses at 20 minute intervals, with the final race at 10pm.

What we need:

  • Horse owners - for £5 you can own a horse in one of the races, your name & whatever you would like to call the horse (within usual standards of decency) will appear on the race card and if your horse wins, you will win £40

If you would like to buy a horse or horses, please let us know either by responding on our Facebook group, or by emailing richwilliams74@icloud.com

You also need to transfer £5 to:
Goresbrook Cricket Club
30 96 38
01797214
Reference: Your name + "horse"

The final race of the evening will be an auction race via Zoom messenger with 60% of all amounts paid for horse going into the prize pool for winners & 40% going to the club.

  • Race sponsors - if you or your company would like to sponsor a race to help the club, the race will be named after you - suggested donation £30-£50, please contact Sarah Parnell if you would like to sponsor a race.


What you need to do:

  • You will be able to bet on each race - to do that, you need to transfer money to the same account with the reference: your name +"tote". Minimum deposit is £10.

Once funds are received Danny will set up an account for you via tote.to & credit funds to be used on the race night, it would be very helpful to do this in advance of the evening.

Minimum bet will be £1/race and all races will operate on usual tote rules, with 60% of all bets being paid out to winning tickets and 40% going to the club.
E.g. If £100 has been bet on a race and there are £10 of winning bets, the winners share £60 (60% of £100), so if you bet £1, your return is £6.

Any balance remaining in your account at the end of the night will be returned via PayPal or bank transfer.

  • You will need to download Zoom on your phone or laptop - we are happy to arrange a trial test broadcast before the race night

Happy to answer any questions here. Otherwise - start snapping up those horses!
