Its a week day and if you get poor fields you get poor crowds (bar a couple of horses the field in the 3YO trophy were cats eg devlino, the ozie boy,kingnadim...FFS its a $200,00 race) the crowd may build up a bit more later in the day...

Yes I was there in the fashion tent.
I would pay $15 every week for that entertainment.[+ $6 car park]
There were fashion parades
There was a solo guitarist singer
There was glamour everywhere
A $400,000 race
And you can bet in between
Sensational day

I still wouldnt spend even $2 on a norMAL day there.

Meanwhile at Angle Park doggy meeting they shut the breakfast menu at 11-00
Some might say 11-00 is too late, only prob is the first race was at 10-35 :roll:
PUNK paid $3 for a 330ml soda water
He buys 1.5 litres at this supermarket for a $1

Thats 0.66c a litre
or
$9-00 a litre :roll:

What about the administrators who programmed both the twilight races
the same day as a o/d game at Adelaide oVal
