It's hoped today's Cup Day in Christchurch will be bigger —and better-behaved— than in years before.
Addington Raceway is reporting higher ticket sales after slashing general admission ticket prices from $40 to just $25.
Christchurch City Councillor Jake McLellan says the event is huge for Canterbury's economy.
He told Ryan Bridge he hopes everyone will keep their behaviour in check.
McLellan says misbehaviour been in an issue in the past, but Police have made progress in improving the situation in recent years.
Gates open at Addington at 11am.
