They don’t have to pay to get it in, the drink and food costs before you even have a bet.

    My first Derby was in 1969, then 1971 and 1974 ( both grandsand and "hill"), and every time it was chock a block. After a long break I went in 2022 and I was shocked! I thought I had come to an Antique road show extravaganza - spacious and sedate. Julian Wilson had warned that tampering would destroy the mystic surrounding the Derby. If they really want to get people to come to the middle of the course, "the Hill", they could start by doing something about the finishing line. There are so many structures there that you cant see a thing from the middle. Yes, they have big screens but who wants to travel x miles to watch the telly?

    • @nataliebeglin9206
      @nataliebeglin9206 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes. Totally agree about the finishing line. Get rid of all the advertising if you want people on the inside of the course. Also you need more free entertainment that will attract the masses. If any race meeting is crying out for a music/racing festival then its Derby day. A big wheel doesn't do it these days. When we used to go the inside of the course the place was full of chancers. Dodgy bookmakers offering stupid odds to an unsuspecting public. People have wised up but racing hasn't.

    19:18 This isn’t true. A yearling is like a 6 yr old child, a 2yr old is like a young teenager and a 3yr old is the equivalent to a young adult who has a bit more growing to do, hence the lbs given when racing 4yr olds. I see no problem in training or even racing 2yr olds but we must not over exert them and that is the problem, not avoiding any training or racing of them as the German govt is unwisely pushing as a “solution”. So the overall position is valid but those equivalents are incorrect.
