A day at the races: is the midweek experience worth the time and money?

If the numbers compiled by the Levy Board are to be believed, then midweek meetings are struggling. Overpriced and with little quality fare to watch, racing on a weekday is potentially a haven for one man, and possibly his dog.

There are 60 runners in action on the seven-race card, with £6,657 in the 2m Class 3 handicap hurdle ranking the best winning prize-money on offer.
