Ok, so i've just moved to Gosforth, it's my birthday on Tue and I have a bit of spare cash to waste. So taking look at racing clubs which are cheap but obv not actually an owner but looking at Middlham etc I could afford the hair on a fetlock for a year. My mobility is compromised but I'd like to do it for the **** and giggles and see some of the northern courses (by train) basically.
I like the idea of a 2yo for the Brock as much as a supreme who wins the county/Arkle on the way to the Gn! I'm not expecting this thread to produce much and will/have research myself but there is the odd knowledgable person here!

TIA

Try the Michael Dods Racing Club. He is in the area and has plenty of runners at Newcastle.

Thanks for the reply! I was expecting at least a couple of replies saying what an idiot and what a rip off they are etc. I did decide I wanted a bit more though so I had a look round and for not very much money I'll be owner of 5% of a novice hurdler and all things being equal 10% of a possible chaser thats already won bumper. No thoughts on anything other than seeing a few northern courses really, i very much doubt any money will be made!
I'm a blue badge holder so may be back for advice on how to get to course as I don't drive so rely on public transport/free buses to courses.

Cheers, tomorrow last race Hexham. I def have a different perspective on it all. 1 very promising horse went lame and had to be retired but replaced with previously expensive well bred os. Did it for **** snd giggles and to see parts of country i now live near and courses people said for years I (as southern racegoer) should visit so now I am!
