The Scottish Grand National Festival
Friday 18th to Saturday 19th April 2008
The Coral Scottish Grand National is one of the most exciting spectacles in racing with 28 of the country's top long distance chasers battling it out over four miles of the famous Ayrshire track.

Crowds of more than 20,000 will descend on Ayr over the two days. As an added bonus this year those attending Friday's opening day will be able to enjoy a live concert by Ireland's legendary folk rockers The Saw Doctors.
The Hospitality
Princess Royal Private Boxes
The third floor of the Princess Royal Stand houses private boxes to accommodate 20-100 guests. With a private balcony overlooking the finishing post and entire course, and with dedicated staff and private tote facilities, everything is in place to ensure the perfect day for you and your guests.
Paddock Stand Private Boxes
Situated on the running rail, just past the finishing post, and alongside the paddock, this is the perfect place for those who like to be right in amongst the action. Each of the Paddock Stand Private Boxes has a private balcony, offering views over the entire course. Giving easy access to the Paddock for all the pre and post-race formalities, and being close enough to 'feel' the horses thundering past, it's the ideal spot to enjoy the full experience of a day at the races. Boxes accommodate groups of between 10 and 60 guests.
Roman Warrior Restaurant
On the second floor of the Premier Princess Royal Stand, with a private balcony overlooking the finishing post, this fine dining restaurant can accommodate up to 160 diners. Named after Roman Warrior, the last Scottish trained racehorse to win the Ayr Gold Cup back in 1975, it also pays homage to some of the greatest horses ever to have run at Ayr, with large panels depicting such equine greats as Red Rum, Grey Abbey and Sea Pigeon.
Also having a view over the Paddock, and offering private tote facilities and additional plasma TV viewing, it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the finest racing in Scotland.
