..ascot good friday..eight race program including the w.a. sires' produce stakes

Bit of a fizzer quality wise,,how did they do attendance ?

Big crowd, lots of families, I'd say the day was a success

..free entry helped

I read it was a very successful day. The course bookies were happy with the higher than expected turnover, and so too the TAB. I can't remember if they specified which TAB, if not all of them. I think it would be safe to assume the on-line betting agencies also had a happy day.

A lot of the Tabs / PubTabs didn't open
Of the half dozen or so, located near me, only one was open

Thought the cost was going to be around $80m but as long as it gets done, way overdue!

Winning double (almost a treble) at Belmont yesterday for french hoop Matthieu Autier
