They have thrown open the gates this Saturday to the races at Belmont on the condition that you have a travel (bus or train) ticket to Optus Stadium for the footy.
You read that right, they still charge to get into the Saturday non feature race cards at Belmont.
Torrential rain expected to fall in the hours leading up to the day, so bring your rain gear.

It’s usually a fiver from what I can remember.
If they can’t do away with admission prices without breaking the bank then they might as well shut up shop.
If it’s free I’ll swing by and have a pint or two and watch a couple of races. If not I won’t out of principle, regardless of whether it’s $1 or $100.
Instead I'll go to my local which is free :D

Think they have gone one week early.
It’s free transport.
Read the announcement.
If you catch the train to the track, you can show your ticket to gain entry.
Catch is most people use SmartRiders - so you don’t actually have a specific ticket to show.

There's no mention of the footy in their social media posts at all.
Sure it would be great for everyone to get in free but maybe they're trying to encourage people to catch the train so they spend more on booze because they don't have to blow under 0.05 on the way home. Maybe it is a well thought plan after all.
I will say though that they should be promoting it better to the Mum n Dad types via more mainstream media like TV and Nova and 92.9 etc
