“It’s a great opportunity for a big pay day of $122,000 for eligible Inglis purchased horses.

"And we look forward to attracting a very strong field, especially with the carrot that has been dangled thanks to Inglis.

“We’ll have free kids’ entertainment including a kids’ sausage sizzle, slushies, pony rides, amusements including a foam cannon, a mega slide, games and prizes.

“We have seven races including the $27,000 Tooheys Australia Day Cup [2000m] and live music from ‘travelling pub singer and guitar slinger’ Aaron Oldaker.”
