Musselburgh Racecourse has saddled up with The Edinburgh Reporter to give us a pair of tickets worth £50 to give away for the Good Friday race meeting. Enter below by 10 March 2016 at 12 noon.
On Friday 25 March 2016 the doors will open at 11:30am offering you lots of time to take in the surroundings and have something to eat and drink at the range of places available round the racecourse. We favour the Fish and Chips Ticket ourselves but you can enjoy everything from champagne to a cup of tea, and you can book lunch in a restaurant by clicking here.
Celebrate the start of the British Flat Season with a great quality day’s racing at Musselburgh. Featuring the £50,000 Royal Mile Handicap, this will bring trainers and jockeys north of the border for a total prize fund of £153,000.
The horses will line up first at 1.55pm and although the last of seven races is at 5:00pm the entertainment does not stop there as there is usually a DJ to keep you and other racegoers there for an hour or so afterwards.
If you have never been to the races then all that you need to know about what to wear and how to be is here on the Musselburgh Racecourse website. It is a good racecourse to watch the whole race as nothing is ever out of view completely, but there are big screens around too which allow you to watch your horse all the way home.
ENTER our competition by 10 March 2016 at 12 noon to win a pair of entrance tickets worth £50 to go to Musselburgh Racecourse on Good Friday 25 March 2016.

At the beginning of February the big meeting was the annual Scottish Cheltenham Trials Day.
Champion trainer Paul Nicholls sent a quartet from his Somerset yard and was rewarded with Tommy Silver’s win in the totepool.com Scottish Future Champions Novices’ Chase.
Fellow leading trainer Nicky Henderson went one better with a double success in the Albert Bartlett Scottish Trial Novices’ Hurdle with O O Seven, while Cup Final triumphed in the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle.
The big Scottish success of the day came from Iain Jardine’s Dumfriesshire yard with Shrewd winning by two lengths in the Totepool Scottish County Hurdle.
Despite the cold and rain the East Lothian track’s attendance of 2759 was a 200 increase on the previous year and with a free admission offer for students several hundred students enjoyed the thrill of the jumps.
