Racegoer posts shocking photo from exclusive area of Randwick as she blasts ‘unbelievably feral group’ for awful behaviour on Boxing Day
- Royal Randwick attracted more than 21,000 punters on December 26
- Questionable decorum of some job
- Tweet from Chairman’s Club told the story
A shocked racegoer has questioned whether Royal Randwick’s members’ section is actually exclusive after witnessing ‘incredibly wild’ behavior on Boxing Day.
More than 21,000 punters flocked to the course in Sydney’s east on Thursday – and many appeared to lack basic decor, according to the angry woman’s social media post.
X user Liz was in disbelief at what went on in the most exclusive part of the song – and quickly posted about it on social media.
“What an incredibly wild group today at the Chairman’s club in Randwick,” she said scathing post read.
‘Shoeless people, always the standing people who block the view of the straight… standing next to a ‘Remain seated’ sign. Smoking in stands.
‘People who wear less than you see on the beach. Disgusting behaviour.’

The angry racegoer pointed out that some Boxing Day punters were mocking Randwick’s strict dress code for the Members Reserve.
Her post received some sympathy online, while another pointed out “it sounds like some pretty lax security.”
Regarding the questionable choice of shoes at the Chairman’s Club, an ATC spokesperson told Ny Breaking Australia: “We believe this is an isolated incident as we have not been made aware of the situation.”
The Boxing Day racing program is one of the biggest of the year at the iconic eastern Sydney track, with only the sold-out Everest seeing more people flow through the gates in October.
Australian Turf Club CEO Matt Galanos was delighted with the strong attendance at the track, with punters also enjoying DJ sets and live music.
“This reflects our commitment to providing memorable, vibrant and value-driven experiences for a diverse audience, especially younger racegoers,” he said.
Boom jockey Zac Lloyd turned heads as they jumped the barriers to finish with a double after winning two races on the programme.
Anna Roper pulled off the biggest upset of the day, saluting aboard Audette in race six and paying $15 on the NSW TAB.
