BADGE ALLOCATION
All owners are entitled to six complimentary OWNER/TRAINER badges
per runner. We also allocate six lunch tickets per runner which gain the
recipients access to the dining room and complimentary lunch.

We understand that having a runner at Ascot is very exciting and whilst we
do try to help accommodate all owners where possible, badge allocation is
at the discretion of the racecourse management and dependent on space
available. If you would like to discuss the possibility of purchasing more
badges and lunch, if available, then please call Olivia Hills on
