Will try and get some pictures of interest during the day.  Made a request to walk the track but this is the closest I got. 

Very warm and sunny from early morning.  The track should start the night a Good 4 subject to how "soft" the mechanical tyning of the track has made it.

I'm told people will start queuing at 1pm to get in the gates first when they open at 3pm.  The only time you will see ATR members running to find a table in their area in the stand at Ellerslie.

Same applies to Owners who have horses starting.  They are further handicapped by having to queue twice the second time at the raceday office.  Many are hoping their horses will run faster than they do!20250125_082625.thumb.jpg.a00994bc3a6675164e013996bd8ae887.jpg

Half the old public carpark from the Novotel down to the main entrance has been a construction site for quite a few months.  

OK. Next question:) Why's the big screen so small and so far away? You'd need binoculars to watch it from the stand wouldn't you, or is there another one?

There are three screens.  The look small because the pictures were taken from Floor 5 of the Ascot Stand right outside the commentators box.
