All Steamed Up Heritage Get togetherWENTWORTH CUP RACES 2011 - "The Big Day Outback Festival"
01 Nov 2011
Situated a stones throw from the Junction of the Murray & Darling Rivers is Sunraysias original Race meeting, The Wentworth Races. Spend a relaxing Melbourne Cup Day in the Outback at the Wenty Races with Friends, Family & Country Folk that love a good time!
Not all of us can get to the real thing so the next best way to celebrate the Race that stops a Nation is to go to the Race Meeting that stops the Country! Yes the famous Wenty Races. Our one and only race meeting for the year is held on Melbourne Cup Day, Tuesday November the 1st, 2011 and we have everything that Flemington has except a line up for the Loos.
- Bookmakers & TAB
- Bar (fully stocked & reasonably priced)
- Reserved Picnic Marquees (ideal for Work/Staff Parties, Hens & Bucks Parties, Sports Groups, Familys etc..
Tell us what you want, we will do the rest).
We have secured celebrity Farmer Tim, the Farmer from Murrayville who appeared on the popular Channel Nine TV program Farmer Wants A Wife to appear at the Calcutta on Monday night and the Races on Tuesday as a judge in our Farmer To Charmer and Fashions on the Field.
Proudly sponsored by the Wentworth & District Community Bank Branch of the Bendigo Bank.
- Plenty of space, shade, parking and hitching rails.
- Fashions On The Field
- Farmer to Charmer
- Horses – 5 Local Races including the legendary WENTWORTH CUP.
