点评:We visited Perth Racecourse for the Stone of Destiny raceday and had a private box overlooking the course.
The location of the box was fantastic. We were right by the finish line and had our own outdoor enclosure, which meant you could get incredibly close to the action. We were able to watch the horses parade past before heading out to race, which was probably one of my favourite parts of the day.
The outdoor area had several picnic-style benches as well as large concrete steps which gave you an elevated view of the course. The box also had its own private toilets, which was really convenient.
The biggest positive, though, was the service. The staff looking after us were fantastic – attentive without being overbearing, really quick with drinks orders and always around when you needed anything. Considering we were a fairly large group, everything ran very smoothly.
One thing worth mentioning is that there was no air conditioning in the box, so it did get quite warm. Thankfully the doors opened directly onto our outside area, so having those open allowed a decent breeze through.
The food was probably the weakest part of the experience. It was perfectly okay and there was plenty to keep us going throughout the afternoon, but some of the dishes lacked flavour and the cheeseboard looked a little worse for wear by the time we got to it. It did, however, fill a gap between the beers!
Overall, we had a brilliant day. The service and location of the box were excellent and being so close to the horses and the finish line made the experience feel really special.
I would absolutely return to Perth Racecourse for another raceday.
翻译:我们前往珀斯赛马场参加“命运之石”赛马日活动,还预订了一个可以俯瞰赛道的私人包厢。
这个包厢的位置堪称绝佳。我们就在终点线附近,还有属于自己的室外区域,因此能近距离观看比赛全程。我们还能看到马匹们在开赛前列队经过的情景,这大概是我当天最喜欢的环节了。户外区域设有几张适合野餐用的长凳,还有几级巨大的水泥台阶,站在上面可以俯瞰整个球场。这个包厢还配有独立的洗手间,相当方便。
不过最值得称赞的还是服务。为我们服务的工作人员表现得极为出色——细心周到却又不会过分殷勤,点饮料时响应迅速,在我们需要帮助时也总能在身边。考虑到我们是一大群人,整个体验依然顺畅无比。有一点值得提及的是,包厢里没有空调,所以里面变得相当闷热。幸运的是,门直接通向户外区域,把门打开后就有不错的凉风吹进来。
食物或许是整个体验中最糟糕的部分。它还算可以,分量也足以让我们撑过整个下午,但有些菜肴缺乏风味;当我们享用奶酪拼盘时,发现它看起来也有些不太新鲜了。不过,它确实……来填补喝啤酒时的空白时刻吧!
总的来说,我们度过了非常愉快的一天。包厢的服务和位置都无可挑剔,而且离赛马和终点线如此之近,让这次体验显得格外特别。
我绝对会再回到珀斯赛马场观看赛马日活动的。
