The Everest day at Randwick a sellout

The Australian Turf Club has confirmed its The Everest meeting is a sell-out, with all remaining general admission tickets snapped up on Monday.

Interim ATC chief executive Steve McMahon said 54 per cent of Everest day ticketholders were aged under 34.

“The Everest’s sell-out crowd is yet again vindication of the original vision of Racing NSW to attract a younger generation of racegoers,” he said.

Strong demand has followed the opening three days of the Sydney Everest Carnival, which have posted crowd increases compared to last year.

The ATC advised that membership is now the only way to attend the October 18 meeting, with a special offer launched to guarantee Everest Day access and a one-off $500 joining fee waived.
