By TAB For Ever · Posted
That level is not open....I would need to check but I assume it cos it not upgraded /renovated with the other levels a few years ago ,AND maybe leased to outside firms as office workspace. The few there have some how accessed it thru those areas or found a path down from the very nice and spectacular viewing Members area on higher level. I heard it was chokka on Saturday The most popular viewing area is the first level which has rooms on two levels running on to it...it was chokka during races .All the rooms leading into it are very comfortable rooms with nice facilities , betting ,bars and toilets. Some are for 'private' functions . I watched many of the races from that area......as well as 3 x from Public stand which in my opinion is great viewing tho a lot can happen in that last 150m of the race. The club needs a 'huge' screen to assist here ...IMO the 3 x smaller screens should be better ,ditto the sound system down along the straight. To cope with the bigger numbers there are marquees on the hill past the post for larger groups like the TAB and the slot owners on Saturday. I usually check out all the facilities on big race days...out of interest ...but on Saturday it was harder to get around...comfortably in excess of 10,000 which is a good crowd these days and rarely reached.Another room I didnt visit was the old Tote facility a great room by the saddling stalls and area where horses can be viewed pre-race. In the public stand , virtually every seat was taken during Cup. BGP are on the higher level. I can confidently say it was the biggest crowd...easily...since covid. Members car park was FULL one hour before first race.The place looked great ,the gardens etc and a lot of extra little features for the observant....shoeshine , free Caps ,coloured jelly beans ,An informative racebook , a civilised crowd ! If Wingatui crowd matched the above the previous week I will eat my hat and run around the Wingatui block....Factory ,Wingatui and Gladstone Roads in my 'g - string'. Negative comments are welcome re this post , but please remember....its just one persons opinion and pessimism is for liteweights ! -

Cultural cringe is not offensive? Hiding behind a name like Trojan and saying Maori culture is getting boring and unnecessary is easy. Get over it moron. -

Reigning Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna emerged in good order from her victory in the $400,000 Azeri Stakes (G2) at Oaklawn Park March 8 and is scheduled to return to Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots early this week.View the full article -
For some reason they don't use that tier - section. It isn't as easy to access from the better hospitality areas as other parts of the stand even on the same tier. If you look at each end you see they are packed. Also a lot of people don't bother going outside to watch a race preferring to hold onto their tables. Easy to hide 10,000 people at Ellerslie. Have you counted how many were in that snapshot? -
