Race day coming in fast

There will not only be a bumper day of racing at Deniliquin Racecourse, but also a host of activities to keep everyone entertained.

This will include the ever-popular Fashions on the Field, which is sure to be one of the highlights of the day.

For football fans, the big Anzac Day AFL clash between traditional rivals Collingwood and Essendon will be broadcast on the big screen.

Punters will be well catered for with full TAB facilities, plus local and metropolitan bookmakers.

Also back this year is the traditional Anzac Day two-up, which will be held after the last race.

After the race meet concludes, the two-up action will continue at the Deniliquin RSL, giving patrons another chance to enjoy the game in a relaxed and social atmosphere.

A bus service will operate to and from the races, with numerous pick-up sites around town.

Many people take advantage of the Peppercorn Enclosure, and tickets in this popular marquee are available through Eventbrite.

The ticket entitles patrons to racecourse entry, food and refreshments, live music, a race book, television access, and seating for the day.

Private marquees are available for hire at the event, positioned either trackside on the hill or near the entrance and bar facilities for easy access to refreshments.

All Peppercorn Enclosure, private marquees, and general admission tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite.

Enquiries about the Peppercorn Enclosure can be directed to Deniliquin Racing Club treasurer Col McMahon on 0428 266 730 or secretary Geoff Corboy on 0427 221 011.

Club memberships are available for $60 and entitle members entry for the Anzac Day and October Gold Cup race days, and a ticket in the $500 lucky member’s draw on Cup Day.
