Horse Racing In Bangkok

[eric1000]

i was wondering how often they have horse races at the 2 stadiums in BKK .

Do farangs have to pay more than thais to enter ?

evening races ?

How about on course betting , no doubt the horses are doped and the jockeys are bribed to hold back .....

and vice versa ...

It was a nice day out. I think it was on a saturday. Ice cold brew. Can't remember if it was 50 B to get in or 100. Do not expect to get much return on a bet. For a place or show you will be lucky to get 40 Baht for a 200 baht bet sometimes only get your money back. I bet 400B on a horse that won, odds of around 8-1 I think I made 120Baht so however they do the odds was not the same as in the west.

I thought I done ok getting 3 winners none favorites. They have english race forms matter fact you can buy them in advance at book store but do not remember which one. Look in the newspaper I think it was in BKK News not the post. Been about 3 or 4 years since I went. I think most there were bookies and had 2 phones going most of the time. Still it was enjoyable.

I think the beers where 35 or 40baht each kept in large tub of ice

Races take place on alternate Sundays at the RBSC track on Henri Dunant and at the Turf Club in Nang Lerng - unless the Sunday is a pubic holiday or Wan Pra in which case the races are moved to the Saturday.

The Card starts at 12.00 noon - there are no evening races.

All betting is on the Tote system - although there are a lot of illegal bookmekers around who will make their own book.

Although Form Guides are readily available they do not count for much since everything is run by a group of insiders who somehow know what horse will place where!

Actually by International Standards they are Ponies - not Horses.
