Olympia - Mistletoe & Ivy Stakes?

[Penguin_Toes]

I have bought tickets to Olympia for the first time as a present for my mum cool

Its on the Saturday evening and the schedule says H&M Mistletoe and then H&M Ivy stakes are on. Could someone please explain what they entail?

Also I don't think I have the best tickets as they are selling out fast - Block 18, row U, seats 38 to 42. Has anyone ever sat anywhere near there? It is kind of in the corner.

Thank you for any guidance!

The Ivy Stakes is a big class, grand prix style (one round, then jump off) and I believe the Mistletoe Stakes is a speed class (one round against the clock)

I've never been in block 18 but FWIW the arena isn't huge and you can see everything pretty much from wherever you sit!

Have fun - I'll be there Saturday evening too

We've never had seats where we can't see the arena very well & we've been for years & don't always book the same seats/rows/blocks - the seating goes quite high & the arena isn't massive. So I'm sure you'll be fine!

Enjoy Olympia - I'm really looking forward to going again. I love it - is not properly Christmas until we've been!

Ive been every year for about 14 years and we've always had a good view wherever we've been and we have sat in the corner a couple of times. Going for the six bar on Sunday afternoon so we can to go out afterwards and have members passes so we can get in the members bar......my boyfriends decision incase he gets bored!
