A Kentucky Derby-style plan for racegoers to line the inside of the Randwick track would allow The Everest to be run in front of record-breaking crowd of 50,000 in coming years.
A Kentucky Derby-style plan for excess racegoers to line the inside of the track would allow The Everest to be run in front of 50,000 people in coming years, smashing the modern-day Royal Randwick crowd record.
However, after watching the Kentucky Derby, the United States’ most successful race, which crams punters into the middle of Churchill Downs, Racing NSW boss Peter V’landys and Australian Turf Club chairman Peter McGauran want to increase capacity for The Everest. The ATC also has a 150-metre long LED screen used for advertisements that runs on the inside of the straight, meaning an elevated structure would need to be built to allow crowds to see the races from the infield.Officials have also discussed how best to bring crowds to the vantage point given they wouldn’t be allowed to enter from the Alison Road side.
