A day at the Royal Randwick Racecourse


Easter Wednesday
Today we decided that since we were just up the hill from the Royal Randwick Racecourse and it was Easter Carnival (sponsored by a local Brewery called “Twoheys”) that to be patriotic and keep with the social mores of the community, we ought to make a visit to the races. It was quite the day. For the price of admission ($15) and whatever liquid refreshments one wished to indulge in, the Racecourse (at least the “non member” public section) was all ours to enjoy. None of us were particularly interested in betting on the horses, but we did want to check out what the carloads and bus loads of people were doing down there everyday for the past week. I wrote earlier that this is the place where Aussies get dressed up. Today’s experience confirmed this impression to the max. There were all manner of suits, dresses and haberdashery on display. In fact, unbeknownst to us, it was ladies day and this brought out all kinds of fashions and hat contests. It was something to behold.
The races began at 11:45am and continued until 5pm. I placed one $2 bet (and lost), but Joe, who had never been to a race track before, got bit by the bug and wound up winning consistently with his wild hunches. At the end of the day he had won 4 of the 8 races and walked out with over a $100. We big spenders made our way back home in time to be taken out to dinner by one of the women on the staff who has taken a shine to us and wanted to send us off with full stomachs.
