Chief Stipe Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago It's official @Huey there is something wrong with you. The ATR CEO Paul Wilcox said so. Basically he said if you weren't excited about Champions Day at Ellerslie - "there is something wrong with you"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly interested in watching alot of the races on the programme, just not the slot race it's a fizzer & they will overhype it beyond what it's actually capable of delivering. Any race that needs $$$ as the prime interest factor has little value in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically he said if you weren't excited about Champions Day at Ellerslie - "there is something wrong with you"! Exactly.........,.Derby , Cup , Group 1's , Aussie horses , Aussie jockeys ......gotta be the best day of your life ! Best 'value' definitely looks to be a ticket in the BGP room where you can mix with racing people from all over NZ.....sure the price gone up to $195 in past week but with lunch , a few drinks , comfortable surroundings with the added twist of winning some Cash in the picking contest . Pick one horse in each race and the most points earned picks up $10 k Cash, $2500 for second and $2500 Bonus bet for 3rd. Plenty of stuff happening over the weekend to make it memorable ! The price seems very comparable to many of the popular hospitality spots at Wingatui today....in a tent at ground level , some cheap champagne and a snack for $250 per head !

Special Agent Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Who would want to run a busy racing club with all those KPI's, expectations and having to continually come up with new ideas each meeting to get different crowds on track so that you keep your job?

So essentially throwing money at punters to get them on course. Fish says the slot race should have them there in droves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
