There are many other attractions over the two days including a live
appearance after racing on Friday by Irish folk rock band The Saw
Doctors. Always popular with the racing fraternity this five piece
will play in the new £4.5 million Grandstand Bar which will
open for the first time that day.
While The Saw Doctors are playing in the Grandstand Bar the
Horseshoe Bar will have a disco blasting out the latest sounds. And
on both days the party mood will be obvious as soon as the doors
open and the samba sounds of Beats of Brazil will be heard in the
paddock area.
On Saturday the Criterion Jazz Band will also be playing during the
afternoon and on both days racegoers will arrive to the sounds of
traditional Scottish music played by pipers. And after racing on
Saturday Reload will play in the Horseshoe Bar.
Another splendid new facility opening on Friday April 18 is the
Owners Bar situated on the ground floor of the Princess Royal
Stand. This luxurious Bar will not only cater for owners and
trainers but also Owners Bar members who pay a special premium rate
to join. In addition to bar and restaurant facilities there is also
an exclusive betting shop.
