Post Great Eastern Steeplechase 2017 > 1987
The biggest jumps race where I live in South Australia.
It's a shadow of it's former self. Jumps racing in South Australia will probably be gone in 10 years time.

Anyway here is the latest running of the Great Eastern Steeple

And to compare it to 30 years ago.

Great finish to this years race, but what a difference in crowd size. Any idea of attendance figures.

1987 probably around 50,000+
2017 I am not sure as I was in China when it ran but I think you could safely say 20,000 to 25,000.
