The ClubsNSW race day will be the last meeting at the track until September and Armidale Jockey Club secretary-manager Jim Dedes said there was always good numbers at the mid-week meeting.

"Absolutely, they've got about 90-odd coming for the luncheon tomorrow," Dedes said.
"It's good for our club and good exposure for ClubsNSW and the respective clubs as well."
Seven races will be run on the day with the ClubsNSW Benchmark 58 Handicap (1100m) rounding out the meeting.
There has been 84 acceptances for the meeting and Dedes said trainers from all over the region were sending horses to Armidale.
"There's been a lot of racing on in the area but we've still got people from the coast, Wyong and Gosford coming up and the regulars from Muswellbrook, Scone and Tamworth, too," he said.
Tuesday's meeting will be the last at Armidale until early September.
The club takes a break from racing as the cold weather stops any regrowth coming through on the track.
The return meeting will be a big one, too.
It's the St Alberts Race Day on September 11.
"It's a big race meeting for us and the local uni college - they get in behind it and raise money for the senior common room," Dedes said.
