Spot on Mr. Carra

Grounds want people spending their money, mainly in the bars, for as much of the five allocated days as they can draw them in for. Same in horse racing - six meetings on Fridays and Saturdays this time of year when the drinkers are out and two on a Sunday which is still traditionally the day when more people are off work than any other day, but it's a family day and not a drinkers day so the courses don't want to know.
