50 rand to get into Turfies are they insane

the place is a dive.
to get to the place u need a Kevlar vest and armour plated vehicle.

what are they expecting today?

Crazy

I will lend u my badge Sly

Is the gate not going to charity? I know they did that before and for me that's fair.

Looks to be a no bad crowd on the rails ?

I know you're only teasing about the 50 bucks but that got you into the area called Triple Sensation, or something, inside the course. It wasnt a large area but it was very trendy in there and all the girls looked hot. There was a great looking bar too. I thought at the time "well done for Its a Rush for finding this niche, they should build on this". I didnt go in because I was on my ace and I didnt pay anything at the gates. Now I wish I had taken some pics in there.

It did not look busy at all. I think the corporate areas may have been busy but there weren't many ordinary folk around from the looks of things.

What will you say to the R300 bandied about for the July next year?

At least Greyville is not in a totally grubby suburb of DBN.

Also its one of two premier events on the racing calendar.

i dont see where yesterday falls even near to a premier event.

the 2.5 mill race was a average looking MR 85 at best.
The Java Handicap even worse. just longer in distance.
The starling stakes a MR 79 if not worse.
The charity mile decent field. but not the premier mile race of the year. not even second best. hence the grade 2 status.
The Graham Beck was descent race but not a premier event. could have been run at the vaal mid week and no one would have cared.
golden loom a bunch of overated SA spinters. top two are top class.

however if a 100% of the 50 rand goes to charity that is great and well done. but that was not communicated anywhere i read.

by my calculation 50 rand * the 10 non VIP people on track yesterday that is 500 rand owed to a charity in Gauteng
