About Us

What is 2 blokes Go Racing?

2BlokesGoRacing is an idea that evolved at the end of 2021 from... 2 blokes going horse racing. After some thorough research we found that there were no ‘all under one roof’ racecourse review websites available to racegoers like ourselves. That needed rectifying, so in January 2022, we started one.

Our goal? To give blog-style reviews on a day at the races at every racecourse up and down the country through the eyes of 2 ordinary 'bloke on the street' racegoers, in easy-to-understand, no frills, no big fancy words, no hyperbole (hmm, is that a fancy word?) plain English. A website from racegoers... for racegoers.

The 2 blokes in question are Nige (Leg) Graham and Jules (Cheg) Rea

What you can expect

Honest non-biased, sometimes brutal opinions, thoughts, and accounts on a race day experience, on a particular day. We rate areas of that experience with either a thumbs up 👍 'Yay' or thumbs down 👎 'Neigh' (see what we did there?). The amount of thumb ups/downs awarded, to a maximum of 3, is an indicator of how good or bad it is. 

Subsequent visits to the same racecourse may well prove to be different depending on the size of the meeting, day of the week, time of year, weather, etc. This will be reflected in an additional review. We may revisit a racecourse for several reasons. This could be because we particularly liked that racecourse or because it rated poorly on our initial visit and we want to see if it might have improved. Or it may be a dual-purpose racecourse (jumps / flat) and we want to experience a visit under both codes and give a 'more rounded' review of the racecourse.

We make no apologies for placing a lot of emphasis on food and drink. It's a fact that most racegoers are going to want something to eat or drink during their visit to a racecourse (unless they've chosen a centre course enclosure or an enclosure where picnics are allowed...and there aren't that many of those) so any racecourse review worth its salt is going to sample at least some of it and give their opinion. We're not trying to be John Torode and Gregg Wallace. 


For accurate directions on how to get to the racecourse via road from your location, please check the AA Route Planner at https://www.theaa.com or, for places to stay, visit Booking.com at https://www.booking.com or Airbnb at https://www.airbnb.co.uk.


Occasionally, we will conduct stable visits and provide you with genuine feedback on those. And at the end of each year, we will list our favourite racecourses based on those visited, and our least favourites. We will also list those that rated best and those that rated worst. Please select the In Review tab for the relevant year.


We have nothing to gain from any review that we do, they're purely our opinions. All prices are correct at the time of review.




New for 2023

2blokesgoracing reviews are very much our opinion so, for 2023, we may collar and interview (and I use the word 'interview' loosely as we're no Michael Parkinson) unsuspecting fellow racegoers, racecourse staff, TV personalities or even racing 'experts' and ask them a range of questions...something like '2 blokes, 5 questions'. So be aware 😉

so Why Do we do it?

Having been avid racegoers for many years we’d notice things at racecourses that exceeded our expectations or, more often than not, that fell well short of them. We thought that fellow racegoers ought to know about these things and there was a surprising lack of information online, particularly from a racegoers perspective. As a result in early January 2022, we decided to fix that, and 2blokesgoracing was born (after a brief period of having been named 'Yay or Neigh'). 

All of our reviews are emailed to the racecourse concerned thus giving them an idea of what their average visitor experiences on a day at their racecourse. We're kind of doing their market research for them. 

Why? Well...it allows them to address areas that perhaps need improving, resulting in a more enjoyable experience for racegoers like you and us. After all, happy customers are repeat customers. Also, those racecourses with positive ratings can give themselves a jolly good pat on the back 😉
