It's irrelevant now. As you said most of the attendees at Flemington Melbourne Cup Day don't bet!! Not that I believe that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very keen now for the the G1 talking 'old school': interesting to hear comments from talking heads at the other meetings, talking about how both days being important historical days, umm! Boxing day use to be Massive at Awapuni, and that date has held its own! it will be interesting to see who gets the date next season? Wingatui, is now 'no byo', umm.. hence the crowds... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usually the case in recent years Aucklanders have deserted the place , for the Coromandel and Bay Of Islands ...one in 3 x households own a boat/craft ! Then for the other 50% Immigrants and those with absolutely no racing DNA at all and trying to stretch their money sensibly in a time of high inflation there are the Retail SALES with many massive ,genuine price reductions. I walked in CBD this morning ,it was quieter than during COVID lockdown yet Dressmart Mall was chaos.......most stores had 40% or 50% or 60% off everything in shop even expensive essential for school items like laptops. ! Max out the credit card , no cash for racehorses running around a small track . Thankfully , there were enough Waikato enthusiasts and horse racing tragics like me to enjoy a FANTASTIC days racing ,which I feel deserves its own thread on here ,. It would be a shame if my summary of the day was discoloured by the knockers ....I'm surprised you weren't there Sunline ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CBD was dead yesterday morning, which is just how I like it Picked up later in the day with the Boxing Day sales, but enjoying the city with less people in it atm.
