Don't know how turnover figures correlate to those of yesteryear but you're dreaming comparing crowds of today to those of the past.

 

Any record turnover says the club is doing something right.

We all know the racing crowds of the distant past were something to behold.  It's unlikely crowds at a race meeting are going to be like that again.  As many on here have said, even Ellerslie is a sad and sorry sight these days.

In this different world some innovative concepts are required to encourage a walk up crowd.  It sounds like South Canterbury are giving it a good go.

I look forward to your marketing ideas Billy.

Entry is free, good idea re the colours though 😀 👍

Would a free drink for anyone with grey hair be too much?

Good old Grey Way….Sth island had some great horses running around in the 70s & 80s….

Sadly, horses racing now are well below that standard. 
 

It was great to see horses winning from everywhere yesterday at Oamaru, seemed most had their chance on the heavy track. 
Would rather see more racing there than Timaru and Ashburton, which has a leaders bias…
