No racing tomorrow

Musselburgh is a great track for punters.

musselburgh is the most improved racecourse in the uk

Thank goodness for the 2 AW meetings.

At least ATR will have one viewer.

I agree with the sentiments of the original poster. Musselburgh is primarily a track that caters for Flat horses running over jumps. The fact that someone like Ferguson is prepared to travel his horses gives you a bit of a clue. Should just stick to Flat racing.

Aceform and Happy Hibby are rumoured to be meeting in Mrs Foremans before racing so may be worth a look........

Anyone see the fella's today ?, m8 said it got a bit hairy when Hib mentioned the bingo bus to Acey

Hibby and acey wow blast from the past

I'm trying to coax them back Shifty.................

Them days are long gone 11

the place could do with an aceform blooter or even a whanger.

I rather miss Happy Hibby.
He could depress me more than Leonard Cohen.

Foxy - in what context?

Increasing the minimum public entrance price from £15 to £20 seems to have gone unnoticed by you

i am still young enough to climb over the wall .

the all round facilties and appearance intheknow .

did the weather stop you getting to kelso or did you get through ?

Is Happy Hibby dead?

In contact from time to time still alive and well as far as i know

No problems getting to Kelso but there was plenty of water on the road in places. Rivers were at a frighteningly high level, luckily Kelso is at a higher level or they might have sunk without trace

Musselburgh have gone down in my estimation due to that 33% hike in admission prices for the public (extra betting badge money for the books to pull up too). They've removed the bookmakers parking area which is now virtually an empty space on racedays. Refreshments, if you fancy a tea, then no change from a £2 coin for some hot water and a Netto teabag. Latte Sir? Then that will be £2.70. For obvious reasons make sure that your better half send you with a pack-up the next time you visit.

I can see how you think there is a better feel about the place & the racing seems to be of a slightly better standard at some meetings there. But it's plain to see who is funding a lot of this

Like a lot of other courses, they seem to be concentrating on key feature days in the summer. Ladies Day & Edinburgh Cup day now carry extortionate admission fees
