This Saturday Night at the AvocaPublicPark is the 2015 Wooden Horse Cup and is also the running of the W.D. Howell & Associates Bulldog Legends Hurdle Race, which will be called by Australia’s number one race caller, Jock Stirring!
The “Ugly Jumper” fashions on the Field is also expected to attract a big field of stunning ensembles,
This is a great family night and a big crowd is expected to attend the Social Rooms, so make sure you are there early to get a good vantage point on the fence.
The Howell Hurdle has a full field of acceptances with some of the more notable entries being The Human Cannonball to be ridden by Dez Critchley, and Pop goes my Cheekbone ridden by Jesse Britton. Half Hour Late is a late scratching and Jockey Hugh Bucknall will now ride Mr. Punctuality which is expected to lead the race in running. Fried Nuts ridden by Mitch Holland is known to be hesitant around fences, so it would be a “shock” if he got up.
Last year’s winner, Little Knackers nominated for the event, but due to going lame since moving to a new stable, was not accepted in the final field.
Preceding the Wooden Horse Cup, there will be races for Fillies and Colts of all ages, including the Junior Cols and Fillies WFA Races.
Tea will be served from 6pm onwards $15 for Adults and children Under 12 Free.
On course entertainment from 9.30 pm to 12.30pm will be provided with resident DJ Donna spinning a few tracks.
Can Sima Beavis win back to back Wooden Horse Cup’s? Only time will tell!
