It is called the Ballarat Cup, but it is held locally, just 10km south of Ballan and is on again.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, in 2021 the Premier Daniel Andrews called a snap COVID lockdown just 24 hours prior to the event taking place; the club lost tens of thousands of dollars in food and event hire.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve bounced back for 2022 and polo is a great spectator sport, an experience not to be missed and for as little as $20 (car) you and your family can have a cracking day out, with plenty on for the kids too.<\/p>\n

Gates open at the Yaloak Polo Club at 4485 Geelong-Ballan Road, Fiskville, at 11 am this Sunday, 13 February \u2013 and it\u2019ll be a day of far more than just polo matches.<\/p>\n

Also on offer are a jumping castle, donkey and pony rides for the kids, as well as a kids\u2019 parade of future polo players, a celebrity game with jockeys and trainers, a race between a Porsche, horse, and motorbike, a grooms race, and finally, an auction at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Club Captain Greg Keyte said the Ballarat Cup would be a big day for all ages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have celebrities coming, some big racing names including Ciaron Maher. Things aren\u2019t as bad as we thought they were going to be with COVID, we\u2019re expecting a pretty big crowd on the day,\u201d Mr Keyte told the Moorabool News.<\/p>\n

Four matches will be played across the day, consisting of four and five chukka matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prize-giving and the auction will be at the end of the day, at 4 o\u2019clock.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the property sold, the question has been raised whether this event will be the last \u2013 but Mr Keyte couldn\u2019t confirm or deny it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can probably get one more in, the new owners don\u2019t take over until the end of February 2023. But I don\u2019t know for sure\u2026it could be the last, who knows,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Marquees are sold out, however, tickets for the VIP marquee are still available for $125 per person, which includes food and drink, while refreshments will also be available for purchase on the day to the general public.<\/p>\n

To book your tickets, email yaloakpolo@bigpond.com, or for general admission just arrive on the day. Further inquiries call 0437 960 085.<\/p>\n
