Six country races will be headlined by the Joe Cahill Transport Tocumwal Gold Cup races, with on-site bookmakers and TAB facilities ready to take your bets.
Plus, there’s a huge array of trackside entertainment to enjoy.
Tocumwal Race Club president Gary Beer is predicting a huge day of family-friendly fun.
“The track and grounds are looking great with plenty of grass cover,” he said.
“Plus we have our new run rail installed in time for the meet, which will improve safety for all jockeys.
“Our marquee packages are all sold out, and we have 17 umbrella packages booked.
“We’ve also sold out of member tickets for the stands and the weather predictions are looking great, so we’re looking forward to quite a big crowd.”
Mr Beer said an impressive 150 nominations have been received for the six races, with acceptances finalised today.
Fashions on the Field will again be a highlight of the day.
There will be multiple categories for racegoers to contest, including a new ‘Hat of the Day’ section.
The trackside entertainment will also include a photo booth style attraction, which is sure to be a hit with punters of all ages.
Gates to the Tocumwal Racecourse open at 11am.
A strict no BYO alcohol rule applies, and those who do choose to attend the fully licensed bar are encouraged to utilise the bus services to and from town.
