Featured meeting
Melbourne Cup Day
This fixture is the Club’s highest attended race day with around 8000 people making their way to Wingatui to enjoy the local racing and the action from Flemington on the giant screen. The majority of the crowd are entertained inside marquees and enjoy great hospitality. The day appeals to corporates who have private marquees and also to students who come to the event to celebrate their end-of-year exams. Most years the student tent, known as the Makybe Diva marquee houses 500 people and sells out in next to no time.
Boxing Day
The Boxing Day fixture is the Club's largest family event. It is a feature license so good horse numbers are in attendance and the racing is good quality. There is also plenty of free entertainment and activities for all the family.
