I’ve been to both, but not for years, they are quite good fun but I don’t really have any interest in betting on them unless it’s in a matched betting way to squeeze a few quid from the bookies. |

"Dogs once, horses once.
Much prefer to have a flutter online now"
I only ever have a flutter on the grand national but I have backed the winner for 4 years running now.  |

I like virtual car racing .
As real is extremelly pollutive.
And would cost a fortune as well .
is nice . Now every one can race . Not just the children of very rich people .
I don’t like animals being used for races , circus , zoos , fights , etc .
Eat them is bad enough . With respect to animals .

I only went greyhound racing ones: the atmosphere was brilliant, the food was disgusting,and I won £200.
I was once invited to the Royal Enclosure at Ascot, where the food was better but I was too confused by everything and never got a bet on at all.
And that's it: my whole experience. |

"No but I've always fancied going to a dog race track and might pop it on me bucket list. "
The old Derby Gaol in Vernon Gate was a greyhound track from 1933 - 1987. A few of us used to go occasionally on Friday nights :-
It's now been developed into flats  |

I don't know as I don't look at the odds I just go for the names I like much to the disappointment of my husband although he wasn't that disappointed when he shared my winnings. |

The nearest I've gotten was going to Ascot on a race day by train. We were off to a relative's anniversary party. The racegoers were, in the main, d*unken buffoons. I would hate to spend any more time in their company |

Used to go to Windsor Races after work on a Monday night in the Summer a few years ago, that was always fun.
Went a few times to the dogs at Reading before they closed and demolished the stadium there, always came home a few pounds up.
Provided you gamble sensibly and within your means it can be an enjoyable evening, but as with all gambling, when the fun stops stop! |
