The Champion Stakes Day at Flemington was amazing.
My sons first time and he was overwhelmed. Lots to see and it was great.
We caught up with friends in the main public area. We parked at the Showgrounds and were efficiently transferred to the course by bus. We were able to get a table with umbrella coverage right on the rails. It was superb because we were very close to the mounting yard, betting and drinks facilities and the excitement of the horses racing right past us. Exciting and great social atmosphere with a large crowd around us. Everything was spoton, well done the VRC.
Ian was an excellent host, Informative and knowledgeable, đ
Good experience at cup no thanks to hassle of getting tickets
We booked 2 Reserved Tables on the Lawn for 12 of us for Oaks Day our first at Flemington we had an absolutely fantastic day and loved every minute of it and will be back next year.
Great day the weather gods were good to us the only thing, there is never enough toilets and pls next year make sure the TAB outlets use experienced workers the person was new and very stressed and it was so not there fault.
We arrived early, about 2 hours before the first race, to find our seats and found them covered in dirt. There were a couple of people cleaning them and when we went back an hour later had to wipe them down ourselves. For most of the day we could not get access to our phone apps to have a bet. And we paid $30 for a small champagne in a plastic cup. Very unenjoyable day out. I have been going now for over 25 years and not sure I will go again.
Very disappointed with VRC as on arrival didnât have our table & indicated we must be in wrong Diningroom & must have been booked in another name. Surprised when I showed them tix in wallet! A complimentary drink would have been nice!!!!!
