Bit of a stretch I think he was a point to point rider, so called Gentleman Rider

Crowds
Raceday exsperiance
Costs once on course
The race day exsperiance and costs once on course (food beverage and range) may take care of the crowd problem

Agree with all. Will elaborate on something though. The liquor licence perth racing has is micromanaged to within an inch of its life by the authorities, this is actual fact confirmed by those that have worked there and is legacy of the good old “all you can drink” perth cup tentland days. Im reliably informed this has not improved.
So $5 drinks would be awesome and would get the people in but as soon as it looks like it could promote “binge” drinking it will be shit canned.

I hope the New Year is treating you well. I would like to thank you for
your continued support of the Western Australian Turf Club (Perth Racing),
and take the opportunity to share some exciting news for the future of Perth
Racing.
It's my pleasure to announce we have appointed British racing
executive James Oldring as the CEO of Perth Racing to lead the future
direction of the Club.
James has dedicated his life to horseracing, having competed as an amateur
jockey and worked as a pupil assistant trainer prior to beginning his career in
the administration and commercial development of the sport.
He joins Perth Racing with extensive experience, including 9 years as
Operations Director of British Champions Series and British Champions Day, and
more recently, 3 years as ANZ Director for Spotlight Sports Group.
James has said he feels privileged to be entrusted with the role of CEO for an
organisation with such a proud history.
As we welcome James, who will commence late March 2022, I would also like to thank
outgoing Acting CEO Stuart Crockett for his contributions to the Club. Stuart
guided Perth Racing through a challenging time, providing much-needed
leadership and support to our organisation. I would like to wish Stuart the
best of luck in his future endeavours.
Additionally, we have also appointed new track manager Brett Sipthorpe and new
assistant track manager Brock Neeling.
Brett Sipthorpe is a well-known leader in WA’s sporting circles and brings with
him a wealth of knowledge from his most recent position at Optus Stadium
and the WACA. Brock Neeling also has more than 12 years of racecourse and
sports turf management experience.
Our new team members bring decades of track and turf management credentials as
well as significant leadership experience to Perth Racing. They will work
together with our General Manager Events, Operations & Infrastructure Tony
Favazzo to add to the outstanding operational team.
This is the beginning of a new era for Perth Racing and I hope you will
join me in welcoming the new senior appointees driving a very exciting future
for the Club.
Remember to look out for each other and follow the advice of the WA Government
for COVID-19 restrictions. Please be ready to show your proof of double dose
vaccination when you visit any of Perth Racing's racecourses and hospitality
venues.
