Ipswich Cup Day Marquee City Continues to Grow
13 June 2009 saw the running of another Ipswich Cup Day and previous records tumbled on a big day. The brilliant weather in the lead up to the day was on show again as records were broken on overall attendance, pre-sold ticket numbers, marquee attendance numbers, and the number of visiting horses to race.
There is doubt whether any other race meeting in Australia would have a greater number of infield marquee hospitality patrons. The infield was opened up in 2002 by the then and current Chairman, Wayne Patch and the growth in popularity of this "infield village" had vindicated that move 100%. The enormous number of patrons results in a logistically difficult job in supplying a village from nothing to fully cater for 6,000 patrons. However, the enormous efforts of ITC staff in building the facilities for one day paid off in spectacular fashion.
Another record to fall was the attendance at the after party when Brisbane band Savvy entertained the massive crowd for two and a half hours. Other features of the day were the stirring performance of the Ipswich Thistle Pipe Band at the start of the day, and the high quality and strongly contested Fashions on the Field contest. Add arguably the highest class of racing at Ipswich for decades as it was, and all the ingredients for a fabulous day at the races are there.
