In one incident, revellers threw plastic chairs at each other during a fight.

Other patrons had to be dragged out by security guards.

One shirtless man was grabbed around the neck before being taken out of the venue.

General manager Tom O’Connor said reports would be prepared by security contractors and said the incidents were disappointing.

“We had 19 guards on duty,” he said.

“You’re always going to get isolated incidents with the small minority who chose to participate in unsafe behaviour.

“I’m aware that security had to eject a couple of patrons.

“After any race meeting we get them to provide us with an incident report.”

The club is awaiting precise figures, but Mr O’Connor said an estimated 8000-plus people attended the meeting.

“It was very successful and there’s been a lot of positive feedback from the racegoers who attended,” he said.

“You’re going to get isolated incidents.

“The main thing from a club point of view is to look into what’s occured and if there is any way we could stop those types of incidents from occurring.

“If we can, we will put things in place to do that.”

Senior Sergeant Chris Parr said police spent several hours at the event with no major issues.

“There was quite a lot of security there,” he said.

“We were happy with how it went.

“The security did a good job.

“There was a lot of free water around and the staff did a good job.”

The temperature stayed about 30 degrees for about six hours during the event.

Mr O’Connor said the antisocial behaviour was limited to a minority. 

“Given the size of the crowd I think it was a successful day for the club,” he said. 

“I reckon 99 per cent of people on the course on the day had a fantastic day with plenty of entertainment in beautiful weather. 

“If there has been any antisocial behaviour, we have to look to put the right measures in place. 

“You’re always going to have a number of incidents with the number of people.” 

A report on the economic benefit of the event is being prepared.
