Review of Moonee Valley Racing Club

Paid $99 for Cox Pkate ticket in the Valley Precinct. It was completely fenced of from the grass public access area & for some inexplicable reason they decided to not unlock the gates to it. This meant if ypu wanted to actually see the actual track & watch the race properly, instead of perching yourself on the fencing and peering through bars like criminals,, you had to walk all the way round through the grandstand. Felt pretty annoyed that I paid the extra $ and ended up with a worse viewing experience than if I'd just bought a general public ticket!! Also, it was a miracle the fence didn't collapse when all the punters perched on it trying to watch Winx's race. Would have been a lot of injuries & a PR nightmare if that had occurred. All because the organisers didn't unlock the gate to the trackside lawn area and put a few ticket checkers on it.
