SUMMARY:The day Devon stops for racing – BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter Racecourse
DESCRIPTION:Clear the diary. Haldon Gold Cup Day is back.\nOne of the biggest dates in Devon’s sporting calendar returns to Exeter Racecourse on Friday 6 November\, bringing big-name racing\, a buzzing crowd\, live music and one of the best days out of the autumn.\nThe BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup is the race everyone comes to see. Exeter’s feature race of the year\, it’s an early-season test for some seriously exciting chasers\, with leading trainers and jockeys heading to Haldon Hill in search of one of the West Country’s most coveted prizes.\nLast year Thistle Ask took the honours. Who’ll be next?\nAnd you definitely don’t need to know your handicaps from your hurdles to have a great day. Grab your friends\, get a drink\, pick a horse and find a spot to cheer it home. There’ll be live music from Aston throughout the day\, adding to the atmosphere between races.\nAnd when the last horse crosses the line\, don’t head home just yet. The Shrine will take over after racing with live music to keep the party going and get the weekend off to a flying start.\nRacing has taken place on Haldon Hill for centuries and the Gold Cup has become part of Exeter’s sporting story\, with a roll call of brilliant horses\, trainers and jockeys behind it.\nWhether you’re racing obsessed\, coming with a group from work or simply fancy doing something a little different on a Friday\, this is the one to put in the diary.

SUMMARY:Christmas Cup Raceday at Exeter Racecourse
DESCRIPTION:One last day at the races before Christmas. And a very good excuse to start the celebrations early.\nThe Christmas Cup is calling. Head to Exeter Racecourse on Thursday 17 December for a big festive afternoon on Haldon Hill\, with competitive jump racing\, live music and plenty of Christmas spirit.\nThe Christmas Cup is one of the highlights of Exeter’s season\, bringing some cracking racing to the track just eight days before Christmas. Pick your horse\, head down to the rails and cheer it home before heading back inside to warm up and plan your next bet.\nIt’s also a great excuse to gather everyone together before Christmas takes over completely. Bring your friends\, get the work crowd out of the office or turn it into that pre-Christmas catch-up you’ve been trying to organise for weeks.\nAnd this is definitely a day to dress for. Dig out the Christmas jumper\, add a bit of sparkle or simply wrap up in your best winter gear and enjoy a December afternoon at the races.\nThere’ll be live music too adding to the festive atmosphere throughout the day.\nDedicated Greenslades buses will run from Exeter St Davids\, Exeter City Centre and Newton Abbot Train Station\, so you can leave the car at home. All three buses depart at 11am\, returning from Exeter Racecourse at 4pm.
