Naracoorte Racing Club president Glen Hamlyn has been a bold leader and he has made a bold prediction \u2013 this Sunday\u2019s MiniJumbuk Naracoorte Cup will be run and won under clear skies.<\/p>\n
Given everything else for the club\u2019s premier day has been meticulously planned and organised, who would doubt the passionate racing man when he promises a beautiful day on the weather front.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are expecting a really big crowd,\u201d Glen said. \u201cOur facilities are looking so good and it is going to be another great day out for everyone. The weather is going to be sensational \u2013 25 degrees plus.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n
Fashions on the Field, quality food and wine and a raft of activities for kids, including face painting and a jumping castle, all promises a great family day out and that\u2019s without even watching a race.<\/p>\n
Of course for those who love the thoroughbred game, the racing club committee are expecting strong nominations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a lot of horses in the South East and Murray Bridge and we are expecting good fields,\u201d Glen said.<\/p>\n
The continued support of MiniJumbuk has always been a key to the success of the day with Glen grateful MiniJumbuk founder Don Wray was prepared to put his money behind his passion for racing and that the tradition has continued. Don is a life member of the club and a former president. \u201cAll roads lead to Naracoorte this Sunday for a great family day full of entertainment,\u201d Glen said. And while race day is a huge day, the Saturday night Calcutta is also a huge event and not many of the 250 tickets for the gala event are left.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s event arguably boasts the two best headline acts that have ever been organised for the traditional cup lead in \u2013 Sam Hayes (right)and Kangaroo Island born jockey Dwayne Dunn (left), who was recently inducted in the SA Racing Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
\u201cSam is part of the Hayes racing dynasty \u2013 his grandfather was Colin Hayes, his uncle is David Hayes and he knows the history of Lindsay Park and the big owners they trained for and the horses they trained,\u201d Glen said. \u201cSam is quite the comedian and he is just a very, very good speaker and will keep everyone entertained.\u201d Dunn is also a popular guest speaker with the 24 time Group 1 winning jockey not short of a story.<\/p>\n
Tickets are only available by contacting the racing club or Glen on 0428 838 336.<\/p>\n
