Bloke Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago 12 hours ago, TAB For Ever said: The crowd was awesome ...in all aspects ! Probably could have fitted an extra 1000 in the public area but overall it was perfect for all those who preferred it to watch the races live as opposed to the screens inside which some prefer.....I travelled a bit of territory to check most areas out PLUS made a lot of walks back to the ticket sellers to collect my winnings ! I should fall in line and use my phone ! AS to BGP.....a very successful day and once again their weekly picks were excellent with 50% winners ......outstanding.And that spread out over 3x meetings including Coast harness[Friday]. Throw in the fact that Des Coppins has banged on about Trav for weeks and it wasn't hard to keep ahead of them. Track gets better every meeting , winners from everywhere and the usual trainers and jockeys to the fore ! Outstanding racing and day out at Ellerslie ! It was a good day's racing but if the crowd was, so "O for Awesome" why was there large empty seating in the two main stands? For a city of 1.5M, the crowd was 10k max, so it is still a poor crowd given all the effort that has gone into the day. Until ATR learns how to market to and attract a cross section of the community to the races, I can see it getting no better. ATR used to have a magnificent Cup Day, but it was screwed and now they are trying to re-invent the wheel. TAB are you involved with The ATR? If you are then good on you for looking to improve the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
