The tote is opened and tickets sold. There is no limit to the number of tickets that may be purchased. A race is then selected at random after the tote has closed and the race is run.

An example of the money raised from the tote is as follows:

In race one:-
Horse 1. sells 10 tickets @ £1 = £10        Horse 2. sells 8 tickets   @ £1 = £8
Horse 3. sells 14 tickets @ £1 = £14        Horse 4. sells 4 tickets   @ £1 = £4
Horse 5. sells 9   tickets @ £1 = £9          Horse 6. sells 16 tickets @ £1 = £16
Horse 7. sells 15 tickets @ £1 = £15        Horse 8. sells 10 tickets @ £1 = £10
A total of £86

Tote tickets can be sold at whatever price you like, we recommend £1. You decide.
If as in the above example the £86 from the first race is split 50/50 then the 
fund-raiser would make £43 and the winning ticket holders would share £43.

If Horse 4 won this would be £43 split between 4 punters which equal's £10.75 each. 
If Horse 1 won then there would be 10 winning tickets with a pay-out of £4.30 each.
This is  just the first of up to eight races.

You can raise additional funds prior to the race night by selling horses and jockeys    
and finding sponsors for each race. We can supply pre-printed paperwork for you to    
use (downloadable from this site) or this just give us a ring and request a race pack.   
We will also supply a fun program for you to photocopy or you may wish to create       
your own.

Horses and Jockeys.
Example
Sell the horses prior to the event for say £2.00. This raises £16 per race. You can 
then pay £10 or a bottle of sprits (donated by a sponsor) to the winning horse owner 
and put £16 into the fund. 8 races = £128.

You can do the same with the Jockeys providing your sponsor has donated £20 or 
two bottles. Or have the race sponsored by two sponsors and by selling them prior to 
the event raise a further £128.You decide what to charge for sponsorship and the horses and jockey's.  

The above example amounts to £256 raised even before the event is even held.

Sponsors
Find a local business or shop or even a friend to sponsor each race and name the 
race after the sponsor or their business.

By pre-selling before the event you should be able to go into profit before the race 
night is held and before the tote starts adding to the fund.
