点评:What a superb day out. We went with friends on Sunday 9 November to enjoy the days horse racing. Sadly the race card was very limiting with very few horses actually running. In fact the first race only had two runners and one of them pulled out on the day. The second race had three horses and this seemed to be the picture for each race. The biggest race was the last one and had seven runners.
I have literally never ever been to a horse race meet and found the place almost empty with very few visitors. It was a real shame when you think how much effort etc goes in to making these days exciting and memorable. So glad we upgraded to the premier lounge upstairs. The view over the finish and the run in are just excellent.
Having said all of that we went with friends and had a really lovely day and enjoyed what racing we saw, drinks flowed and were realistically priced. Food in the main food hall area was very good and there was quite a chose of things to have. A Sandown hotdog with chilli sauce & meat/cheese/mustard etc was £9 and although was delicious it was a little steep in price. However if you had just a plain sausage in a bun you would also pay the same £9 which was certainly far too much.
Staff who worked here were very efficient, friendly and professional. We all certainly enjoyed our day and were surprised that we managed to get a complimentary minibus from the station to the ground. Going back we were not so lucky and paid a taxi to take us back too the station instead. If you want to walk it you can but it will take 20+ minutes to do it.
If you have never been before certainly give it a go. The place is well maintained and is a pleasure to visit and spend a day at. Thank you.

我以前从未去过赛马场,发现那里几乎空无一人,游客寥寥无几。想到为了让赛马日精彩纷呈、令人难忘,需要投入多少精力,这样的景象实在令人惋惜。幸好我们升级到了楼上的高级休息室。从那里可以俯瞰终点线和冲刺区,景色非常棒。
尽管如此,我们和朋友们还是度过了非常愉快的一天,欣赏了精彩的比赛,酒水畅饮,价格也很合理。主美食广场的食物非常美味,种类也很多。一份桑当热狗,配上辣椒酱、肉、奶酪、芥末等,售价9英镑。虽然味道不错,但价格略高。然而,如果你只点一份普通的香肠面包,也要9英镑,这显然太贵了。
这里的工作人员非常高效、友好且专业。我们都非常享受这一天,而且惊喜地发现竟然有免费的小巴从车站送到球场。回程时我们就没那么幸运了,只好花钱打车回车站。如果你想步行前往,当然可以,但需要20多分钟。
如果你之前从未去过,一定要去看看。这里维护得很好,是个值得一去的好地方。谢谢。
