Adult entry Oaks and Derby days £75.00

Lonsdale encl Inside of track £45.00

Tattenham Corner encl. £30.00

'Family' on the hill encl. £25.00

Seems to me it was virtually free to go to the infield area not so long ago. The greed of these people is unconscionable.

Once again racing shooting itself in both feet.

Pity we don`t have a time machine roggrain. Would have been an electric atmosphere with 1 million plus in attendance. And I thought the Ayr Gold Cup crowd was too big for me.

Used to be the greatest race in the world. Not now sadly.

Jcr,bha and the gc are all doing so much damage to horse racing in the case of jcr they have a royal charter and are meant to be the custodians on British horse racing yet almost on a daily basis they are alienating racegoers.
