NEW BETTING AREA FOR TOTESPORT GOLD CUP FESTIVAL
NEW BETTING AREA FOR AYR GOLD CUP FESTIVAL
AYR Racecourse will become the
first in the country to introduce a new bookmakers' area
following the introduction of the Gambling Act 2005.
The Ayr Executive is inviting tenders for six new positions
adjacent to the paddock lawn area for the three day totesport Ayr
Gold Cup Festival from September 20 -22.
In the past six months more than £250,000 has been spent on
creating a new Parade Ring, Winners Enclosure and Champagne Lawn
and Garden which now provide a greatly enhanced focal point at the
track.
The new betting area is opposite the Princess Royal Stand and can
be accessed by both Club and Grandstand patrons and is less than 20
yards from the Parade Ring.
Ayr Racecourse General Manager William Gorol said ; "The
paddock area has been completely rejuvenated this year and there is
a real buzz about the place.
"By providing new betting positions within this area I feel we
are further enhancing facilities particularly for the new social
racegoers who attend racing at Ayr. They will now be able to enjoy
the unique experience of placing a bet with an on course bookmaker,
many for the first time as there will now be a better choice of
where and who to bet with.
"On course bookmakers are greatly valued by Ayr Racecourse and
I feel they provide a key and exciting ingredient to the enjoyment
of a day at the races.
"All licensed bookmakers now have an opportunity to tender for
and if successful operate from one of the new betting positions for
Scotland's most prestigious flat race meeting."
Bookmakers interested in the new positions are being asked to
tender by either letter or fax by noon on September 10 and their
offers should be clearly marked for William Gorol, General Manager,
Ayr Racecourse.
For further information William Gorol can be contacted on
07940-458845.
