Murray Fish Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 We have a general admission area like no other planned for the TAB Karaka Millions and there really is nothing general about it. Keep reading to find out what’s in store for our GA pals…….pssst this year GA tickets gain you access to the TAB Karaka Millions afterparty! How gooood!! Of course as per, you’re very welcome to hang out in the usual GA spots of the Newmarket Room or the outdoor seating of the Ellerslie Stand and there’ll still be plenty of space for your picnic blankets/chairs on the lawns adjacent to the stabling complex. Remember you can also bring along your own picnic food, unopened non-alcoholic beverages and as always under 15’s are free admission. A note for TAB account holders who can usually gain access to TAB Winning Post on racedays, this area will be exclusively reserved on TAB Karaka Millions night for a private function.

Doomed Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Bloody hell. For a six race card. I might consider it for 10 races, but $60 for six races is pushing it. But, as I freely acknowledge, I am not the target market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB2.0 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 They know the drinkers/party people will go regardless, so may as well charge heaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammalite Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Seems a good idea then. If the very TOP rated 2 and 3 year olds aren't there (whoever the ones are you a talking about ) then the next level can step up and enjoy some of the spoils too. so a pretty good thing really 😊. But isn't the Guinea's winner gunna be there? Thought SAVAGLEE was earmarking the 1.5 million Karaka million? So the best in Nation should be there all going well.

Don't think Savaglee is going there. Tackle the older horses here then off to OZ. Sensibly imo. Certainly wouldn't risk him in a ordinary Listed -R race myself.

Huey Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago 2 & 3yo races are shockers , what's happened to 2yo depth? Cdnt get a full field for $1.5m sales race , lucky to get 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdnt get a full field for $1.5m sales race , lucky to get 13. $675,000 of industry funding into that sweepstake by name but not by funding race. You do wonder whether the money could have been spent better elsewhere. It would be interesting to know who's idea it was to boost the stake by half a million this year? I wonder how many of the current field wouldn't have turned up if it had been "only" $1m. Not as if many of them had much more appealing opportunities elsewhere. I suppose next year they will increase it to $2m to get a better field, and the holy grail, to try and get a third tier Aussie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This meeting may soon depend on the battlers to keep going if these absurd decisions continue. I don't believe Entain crowd have a clue what they're doing. The Railway & Classic look decent races. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they are totally in the pocket of Entain and have just become yes men. I could be totally wrong. I don't know any of the people involved. Its just the impression I get.
