"Clearly there was a limit to the number of free tickets that we had available, and we have given out 11,000.
What is important I think is that people who do come to the racecourse on Saturday don't get turned away, so we have retained a capacity to allow racegoers to purchase a ticket if they want, but the allocation of free tickets was exhausted three weeks ago.
Technically we could go up to 17,000 with the Gordon and Lennox enclosures, but frankly we have no wish to get up that number because frankly it would become over-crowded."
As one bookie has pointed out, they get 40,000 in there in late July...

Well as long as "they add a few more email addresses to their customer database", they'll regard it as a success. How nice that they have also managed to maintain the capacity to let people pay. Win-win anybody?
