Sometime being a bookie - and thus trading in human misery & being responsible fro pretty much all the ills that beset this fair planet - has its upside. From the trade paper (
The Racing Post
) yesterday, these are the attendances for the BB UK racecourse shows this summer:
Newmarket - 13,449
Newbury - 15,059
Epsom Downs - 6,234
York - 16,992
These figures are, of course, for the entire attendance but at Epsom, the crowd looked like about 6,000 to me.

There was definitely a disparity between the attendance at the two I was at (Epsom and York) but I didn't think it was that much, even taking into account the non-concert-going clientele.

Cool. It's nice to see that a lot of people are still being exposed to that great music. Thanks.

Andrew, as Epsom is a lot lower than the others, I just wanted to know if this was due to capacity or slower ticket sales?

Think it was a capacity issue - as you know, the stage was off to one side of the grandstand. This was the crowd in 2011, when the stage was almost square-on to the main stand:
The attendance that day (7/7/11) was 8991.

I'm in the front row of this pic!
Yes, I really didn't like the set up this year, you had to stand on a gradient and I just didn't feel comfortable with it. The front row also seemed shorter which also annoyed me.
Still, it was a great evening.
