tasman man 11 979 Report post Posted November 8, 2020 Melbourne Cup day at Ellerslie seemed very successful...... over 6,000 people in attendance ,a good standard of racing , track seemed good and crowd seemed happy. On course turnover good , hospitality options well sold. One relegation on day seems to have been generally 'well accepted ' tho I personally surprised it was upheld. And the rumours surrounding the building of a StrathAyr track at Ellerslie are now more than rumours and the wheels are in motion. Certainly brings hope to Racing in the North and NZ. Good work Ellerslie and the ARC Board. Disillusioned, scoobysnacks and Aaron Bidlake 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey 2,037 Report post Posted November 9, 2020 Great news about the StrathAyr , certainly hope it comes off. But if you can't make MC day work in a club of that magnitude the industry is in real trouble. Insider 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
