Entry into next Thursday’s eight-race TAB meeting is free, with a number of country music stars in town for the Country Music Festival set to be in the crowd, said Tamworth Jockey Club’s sponsorship and marketing co-ordinator Amie Simpson.
After the final race and barrier trials, The Shanon Watkins Band will play in front of the heritage-listed grandstand.
“It’s going to be a big day,” Simpson said. “It’s a showcase race meeting and the gates open at 11am, and we do have a free bus service courtesy of Tamworth Bus Lines running from 10.30am to 8.30pm.”
The feature race is the $30,000 Concrete Industry Supplies Country Music Cup Benchmark 70 Handicap (1200m) while there will also be the $40,000 Country Showcase Maiden Plate (1200m) on a card where the TJC will disperse $250,000 in prizemoney.
