A big part of the whole experience at any Sandown racing fixture is of course being able to have a little flutter, and whether you’re a novice or seasoned racegoer, the course can cater for you.
You have the option to take a more traditional approach and head to one of the betting rings found in front of the Grandstand, or near the course railings. On top of this there are numerous betting shops dotted around the racecourse if this is your preference.
All Sandown horse racing events also have many Totepool betting points around the course. This is different from the bookmakers in that you don’t bet against a bookie, instead the stake you make goes into a pool and how much you win is determined by how many other winning tickets are in that pool as well.
If you want to bet online via your favourite apps you are free to do so, but only ‘Jockey Club’ members will be able to access the course’s free Wi-Fi.
Another thing to note here - as is now the trend at most racecourses - Sandown also operates on a cashless basis and there are no cash machines. However, if you have cash you can use it at selected bookmakers and Totepool points - although contactless payments are still recommended.
Lastly, if you want to get some helpful Sandown racing tips on the day, you can get hold of a printed Sandown racecard when at your chosen event. These are available for free as a digital version for ‘Jockey Club’ members, via the member app.
