She admitted that she was disappointed. It was notified that they could re-enter the stadium, and I only came to the scene to watch the game today.

Arima fans were not able to enter without a reservation

Arima fans had to make reservations because they didn't know, but when they arrived, they found out that they couldn't get in, and eventually they had to go home.

Mr. Lin pointed out that due to the restrictions on the "less entry" racecourse due to the epidemic, his own racecourse reopened the "walk-in". However, the Jockey Club "doesn't compare to people coming in, but the family is out of the way." When asked if he would make an appointment for the next race day, he was disappointed and said "it's time to count".

The stands are marked with markers to separate the audience, and most of the horse fans watch from a distance in the restaurant

After the reporter entered the venue, they found that there were markers on the stands to separate the audience.

Most of the spectators watched from a distance in the restaurant, and only a few horse fans went to the stands to watch the race.

Although the pomp of the racecourse was not as good as it was before the epidemic, when the race was going on, the emotions of the horse fans became high. The moment the horse crossed the line, the horse fans even shouted and cheered.

Senior Mr. Ma Milin, holding a telescope in one hand and a horse scripture in the other, stood in the grandstand.

Mr. Lin pointed out that "usually most people enter the venue to see the horses", but due to the epidemic, the racecourse cannot be opened to the public.

He described the excitement of being able to enter the field again, and pointed out that "just like the horse owners, they are all bettors, and they have to enter the field to see fairness."

Mr. Lin also pointed out that today is all about deciding which horse to buy on the spot. He showed reporters the record of buying horses and said that he had won two races in a row.

Citizens entering the venue: "It's a long way to watch TV, I'm not happy, I'm happy watching the scene"

Another audience member in the stand, Mr. Li, was also excited about the reopening. "It's a long way from watching TV, so I'm not happy, but I'm happy watching the scene." The epidemic made horse fans "no entertainment."

The reporter also inspected the restaurant near the stand. All diners must obtain the "Easy Admission Ticket" before entering the restaurant, and then scan the "Safe Travel" and "Vaccine Pass" again to enter.

The person in charge of the Jockey Club pointed out that the reason for the need for public reservations is that in the event of an outbreak, "marked seats are convenient for chasing patients" to protect the health of the public.
