THE COUNTRY AIR. A CHANGE OF PACE. WHY NOT KICK BACK AND ENJOY THE KILCOY CUP RACEDAY!

By Darren Winningham | Thursday, June 13, 2019

The 2019 Kilcoy Cup will be held at the Kilcoy Race Club on Saturday 15 June. Gates will open at 10am with admission $10 per person with children under the age of 14 free.

The program is action packed with 13 races scheduled - 7 gallop races, 3 grass pacing races and 3 mini trot races featuring the children and the ponies which is always a favourite at this track with the patrons. The program commences at 10.30am with pacing (trot) racing.

The feature race is the Keith Beavis Memorial Kilcoy Cup to be run over 1200metres for BM75 horses with the supporting feature race being the Beavis Bartels Families race over 1900 metres for BM60 horses. The Bruce Duncan Memorial Jockeys Challenge also occurs across the seven-race program and each year the Duncan family supports this meeting and turn up in droves!

The track is undergoing some major renovations with the old grandstand being removed and being new facilities being constructed by the Somerset Regional Council.

The Club is spending $1 million on upgrades to their track and facilities. This Committee and its members certainly have the focus on the patrons of the Club who come to enjoy country racing at its best!

WINNO caught up with the Kilcoy Race Club Chairman Con Searle earlier in the week. He was beaming with confidence about the meeting with record nominations and huge support from owners and trainers for the meeting.

Searle said, “the winning post garden will be open to the public this weekend with the renovations being carried out – we anticipate this being well supported this weekend and the Club have made every effort to cater for our patrons,” and he added, “the Club is looking forward to a massive day with wonderful weather”.

The Kilcoy Club and the Committee bring the “E” into ENTERTAINMENT with their wonderful program to ensure everyone is catered for at the track. Punters, families, children and those just seeking a day out will go away impressed.

In addition to the other activities on the track there is the Kilcoy Cup 2019 Fashions on the Field with prizes totalling $500. Then you have the famous Kilcoy Club steak sandwiches! If you haven’t experienced one of them, you must grab your token and get along to the BBQ early and be sure not to miss out as patron’s hook into these sangas that are always so popular!

KILCOY CUP race day surely looks enticing so I hope that you will pack the car with your mates and head to Kilcoy on Saturday 15th June to support the very best of country racing.

WINNO, representing horseracingonly.com.au, will be there to greet you all!
