5 Nov
A relaxed way to enjoy your day with plenty of opportunities to get close to the action.
Come be part of the roar of the crowd!
Our general admission areas provide a relaxed, laid-back environment for eventgoers to spend their day.
When it comes time to race, you have the option of either watching from the covered, outdoor Public Grandstand or getting closer to the thunder of the track from the open public spaces down below or on the lawn adjacent to the Parade Ring.
Some food and beverage will be available to purchase, but you’re welcome to bring along your own picnic food, unopened non-alcoholic beverages, as well as chairs & picnic rugs for use in outdoor general admission areas.
