Now in its 84th year, the five-card race meet steeped in tradition will see thousands through the gate on Saturday, July 8 at the picturesque bush track on Wean Road near Gunnedah. The race club promises food, fashion, fillies and fun as gates open at 9.30am, with the first race to kick off at 12pm.
Race club president Les Alker said organisers are gearing up for another successful event, with a number of prizes on offer in the fashions on the field stakes.
The scene is set for a family day, with children’s train rides, a jumping castle and children’s foot races to entertain the kids. Each year, the picnic races sponsor a local charity from its supporting towns, with this year’s beneficiary Rotary Club of Gunnedah West.
Organisers remind race goers that no alcohol or glass is to be taken into the track. Goodwin Kenny Tamworth are organising a bus service.
