Race Meeting July 23 from 11:30am

The weather just didn't hold quite long enough for the first scheduled running so hoping the horses do not get wet feet again, the Ballina Tourism and Hospitality Cup is now being held in July.

This will be a much bigger meetingwith lots more price money attracting a higher quality field and of course more people. It will attract lots of horses from Queensland hoping to win the $50000 bonus that is on top of the $11,000 prize money that comes with this meeting.

A big thanks to the supporters who have again sponsored a race.

Secretary for Ballina Tourism & Hospitality, Dave Heggie, said today “Ballina Tourism & Hospitality is the private sector tourism industry’s membership body. Our aim is to drive the growth of businesses involved in tourism and hospitality in the Ballina and Hinterland area. This race day is a wonderful concept which highlights the local businesses that provide such a high standard of products and services for tourists.”

This race day is fully sponsored by local businesses who are involved in tourism in some way. Good nominations have been received for this TAB meeting with a full 7 race card. Gates will open at 11.30am.

The feature race is an Open Handicap over 1300m, the Ballina Tourism & Hospitality Cup, which has attracted some quality horses.
