ABANDONMENT
As a Racecourse which operates during the winter months, Kelso Races fully appreciates the risk of abandonment due to inclement weather, and should racing be cancelled before the first race a full refund or transfer to another meeting will be offered. If racing is abandoned after the first race no refund will be made.
In the event of an abandonment, no refunds will be issued on the day and written application returning the unused tickets must be made within fourteen days to the Racecourse Office.
DRESS CODE
There is no dress code at Kelso Races, but most people dress "smart casual".
For a lot of people (especially on Ladies Day) dressing up is all part of the fun of going racing.
To enjoy all aspects of the Racecourse you will need to do a fair bit of walking around, so give particular thought to you footwear, and of course with our racing season running between October and May you may want to be prepared for the unpredictable Scottish weather!
