Family friendly and quality racing at cup

-

The traditiona­l Warragul Cup trotting race meet will be staged again at Logan Park on Easter Sunday, April 9th.

First run in 1955, the Warragul Pacing Cup is one of the oldest feature races on the country circuit.

Many of Victoria’s top trotting trainers and drivers have their name on the honour roll as a past winner of the race.

The $35,000 event is compliment­ed by the $20,000 Eddie Evison Memorial Warragul Trotters Cup, and a support program of racing.

Off the track, a host of family friendly activities have been planned, including Fashions on the Field, which makes a welcome return to the Warragul Cup meeting this year.

Races from Pony Trots Victoria and an appearance from local horsewoman Kylee Paull and her award winning retired standardbr­ed Whiskey Business will be among the other highlights.

There will be loads of giveaways on the spinning wheel, plus Easter Eggs and free activities for the kids, and a Punters Club for those who wish to have an investment on the outcome of the races.

Food trucks and a bar will operate in Logan Park’s Barn Bar function area, overlookin­g the racetrack home straight.

Punters can watch all other race meets on TV screens on course, and betting with TAB and bookmaker will be on offer.

Action commences at Noon and entry is free for all on Easter Sunday.

Warragul’s facilities are first class and the racing action is up close and exciting when viewed from the club rooms, terraces or the lawns.

Trots have been staged on Easter Sunday at Logan Park since 2006, and organisers are confident of another big crowd through the turnstiles this year.
