Do they usually charge an entry fee on classic day?

I've always wanted to try fly fishing.

Will have to make a plan for the big day and get over to the big T

Aye . The card looks like its going to be a cracker.

Ditto Mac, very good to see the Cape Town raiders coming out in full force for the big day. Looking forward to some top class racing. Also great to see some Durban trainers having runners on the highveld lately, it's a good winning recipe all round and very good for the punters especially.

Bob entrance to the course is free but if you wish to enjoy the attractions of the Country Garden then that will cost you R50. The regular punter will not be disadvantaged at all and those that come specifically for the Garden will pay for that added value(only if they are over 12 years of age)

I like this idea, get families to the track
