Get ready for a thrilling day at the Jockey Club Races on Saturday, September 28.

Under the leadership of President Andrew Hooper, who returns to Grenfell every year to contribute to this event with a great committee behind him - this year's event is set to be a spectacular showcase of horse racing and community spirit.

We’ve had wonderful support from all our local sponsors, who step up from all organisations. We hope to see strong community support for this event.

Introducing the Bromar Engineering Superior Licking Farmers Sprint

This year, we’re excited to launch the Benchmark 58 1000 metres Sprint race, rebranded as the Bromar Engineering Superior Licking Farmers Sprint.

This race is a nod to our hardworking farmers and offers a unique blend of excitement and community engagement. Farmers can purchase a ticket for $100, which includes entry to the races, a race book, lunch, and drinks in the President's Tent.

Additionally, each ticket provides a chance to win the Bromar Engineering Superior Licking bin, with the draw taking place after the race.
