Sub standard as compared to NSW & Qld experience
by Buster on 9/11/25Flemington Racecourse - FlemingtonRating: 1 out of 5Flying down from interstate to attend the races over the carnival in Victoria as the experience was sub standard. I’m not talking about the racing I’m talking about the experience from VRC.
Firstly as an owner the experience in Vic is way below what you receive in Qld & NSW. From ticketing and how confusing it is to them attending and people in your owners ticketing area treat owners like rubbish. If it wasn’t for us investing so much money into the industry and then bringing our horses to your state your carnival wouldn’t exist.
Then races day comes along…. Who decided to open the gates at a particular time and all people… members, owners GA (once a year under aged who only come to drink) can enter the course at the same time!!! Don’t you realize this causes the ridiculous queues at the gates!!
In other states, members and owners get to enter 30 mins before hand therefore the lines are so much better to manage but more importantly the people who invest even in you quieter times get some special privileges, but no in Victoria you bunch these in with everyone.
Don’t forget and mistreat people who ensure you have a carnival are treated a little better.
