Chepstow forced to accept cash as WiFi outage crashes Tote kiosks and bars

WiFi failure at Chepstow's cashless payment system caused a temporary U-turn on Saturday. Tote kiosks in the restaurant, Premier stand and some of the boxes were closed. Che pstowe accepted cash on the gate. The problem is believed to be caused by a power surge or an animal chewing through a cable. A crowd of over 6,000 people were at the racecourse on one of its biggest days of year. Saturday's Placepot was £54,818. The pot was half the size of previous seasons. There were problems with the weighing room, but it was resolved.
