Owners and Trainers
Ripon offers owners and trainers superb hospitality, with the dedicated NE-Bet Sponsored Owners and Trainers facility, overlooking both the pre-parade and parade ring.
Hospitality
We offer each owner and trainer (with a runner on the day), a complementary food voucher. These vouchers can be used in the NE-Bet sponsored Owners & Trainers Bar, the Silks & Saddles Bar, the Champagne & Seafood Bar and the Club Restaurant.
There is a viewing area in our Club Stand reserved for connections with runners, and a small number of reserved tables in our Club Restaurant specifically for Owners and Trainers but advanced booking for these is strongly recommended.
If you wish to book a table, please contact CGC Event Caterers on Tel: 0113 287 6387
Winning Connections
We invite all winning connections to join us in the Winners Room to the right of the Weighing Room, to watch a replay of the race and celebrate with a glass of fizz.
We also offer a winner’s trophy and photograph for each race.

Parking
Our Owners are invited to park in the Annual Badge holders Car Park. ROA Members have an Annual Car Park label which admits them to that car park whether or not the Owner has a runner.
