“Perfect weather conditions contributed to a significant year-on-year increase in raceday attendance, making this our biggest Cup Day since the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in 2021,” Mr Heddo said.

“Following the success of our Country Music Raceday in September last year, as well as our Groove on the Grass Raceday in March, it’s clear the local Community has embraced our offering of a complete day of high-quality racing paired with vibrant off-track entertainment.

“The racing program featured three Group 3 races and a Listed race with over $1.8 million prizemoney on offer.

"High quality fields, competitive races and thrilling finishes delivered an electric atmosphere for racegoers.

“Off the track, the crowd enjoyed a hotly contested Fashions on the Field competition and a post-race performance by popular band X-Mentals, capping off a day to remember. The Hawkesbury stand-alone meeting continues to grow in stature each year,” Mr Heddo added.

“I look forward to continuing our collaboration with Racing NSW to explore further opportunities to further enhance this fantastic event.”
