Welcome to Course and Distance Limited, the specialist horse racing tour company dedicated to giving our clients the very best experience of horse racing in Europe and beyond.

Now in our fourth year, we are not a subsidiary of a larger organisation, nor do we run holidays to other sporting events. Quite simply our expertise is in horse racing and we believe that as fellow racing enthusiasts, you will appreciate the events and destinations we have to offer.

In 2008 our trips will take you from the sophistication of Paris, to the splendour of Prague, from the charm of Punchestown and Galway to the breathtaking scenery of Merano. 

During the year we will offer you the very best action over the jumps and on the Flat as we experience the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris, the Galway Festival, the Italian Gran Premio di Merano, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and finally the world-famous Czech Velka Pardubicka.  Closer to home we offer a weekend at the Aintree Grand National.

One of the most popular aspects of our holidays is the opportunity for guests to meet with racing experts and current or former jockeys, who will share their first-hand experiences and knowledge of the meeting ahead.  Last year our guests enjoyed insights from Steve Smith-Eccles, Dean Gallagher, the Racing Post's Ben Newton and a host of other personalities from the world of horse racing.  Where possible we also like to offer a guided walk of  the race course.

As always, your tour will be accompanied by at least one of the principals of Course and Distance Limited. All trips are fully inclusive of flights, racecourse admission (including hospitality packages where available), hotel accommodation and all transfers for the duration of the tour – all you have to do is soak up the atmosphere and concentrate on picking the winners.

Whether you want to go racing with a group of friends, your partner, or on your own, you can rest assured that we at Course and Distance Limited are dedicated to making your horse racing holiday a truly memorable experience.  Quite simply no other tour company can match the personal service and attention to detail that we offer.  That is the Course and Distance difference...

I look forward to going horse racing with you in 2008.
