As the day wore on, Victor and Anthony experienced every aspect of the racing world. They placed bets at various bookmakers, carefully observing the differences in odds and the demeanour of the bookies. Victor insisted on using his own money, refusing any special treatment.
They visited the Tattersalls enclosure, named after the famous horse auctioneer Richard Tattersall. This area, reserved for members and distinguished guests, offered a more refined atmosphere and better views of the races. Victor noted the social interactions here, the subtle networking and deal-making happening over glasses of champagne.
"We should consider hosting some exclusive events in this area," Victor mused. "Not just for racing, but for business networking. It could be a valuable draw for our more affluent patrons."
Anthony nodded, making another note. "Perhaps a monthly soiree? We could invite local business leaders and politicians."
