"Many thanks to all the team for making our first trip to the Arc so wonderful. We had a fantastic time. The hotel was very good, the staff were attentive, and the ability to have an evening drink in a friendly, relaxed environment after racing was most welcome after a busy day. It was just a shame that Enable couldn't get to the winning post first! Maybe next year..."
"We had a wonderful trip to the Arc, thanks to you and the team for all your hard work to make things run so smoothly. We loved The Paddock Enclosure. It really worked so well in every respect. I would recommend it to anyone going in the future."
"It was wonderful to meet the whole team and see you all in action. You looked after us beautifully and we couldn't be happier with the experience."
