Hawkesbury Cup draws huge crowds

a HUGe crowd celebrated a fantastic day of racing and entertainment at Hawkesbury’s 18th stand-alone Hawkesbury Cup meeting.

Hawkesbury Race Club Chief Executive Officer James Heddo stated “We have been able to offer a complete package of high-quality racing, as well as plenty of off-course entertainment, which has been embraced by the local Community.

“What was most pleasing was that many of our on-course patrons were new customers and families, who are generally unable to attend racing at Hawkesbury at a midweek meeting due to work commitments. This is in line with Racing NSW’ strategy of attracting support from the younger generation, who can be introduced to racing by attending these exciting racing events.

“Hawkesbury Race Club will now work with Racing NSW to explore any opportunities to add to an already impressive racing program.

“The Hawkesbury stand-alone meeting was established in 2006 and continues to go from strength to strength. I look forward to now working with Racing NSW to add to the program, with a race that will not only enhance our racing but offer horses coming out of the world class Championships Racing Carnival more options to continue their racing campaigns in NSW.

“Hawkesbury Race Club looks forward to working in partnership with Racing NSW to implement any positive changes that enhance opportunities for NSW participants.”
