October 1st, 2010 - Horse Racing Spring Carnival Delayed
Horse Racing Bets
Horse Racing fanatics don’t have to make a hard decision whether to follow bet on the footy or choose Flemington’s much-anticipated start to the spring horse racing season.
Victoria Racing Club has shifted the Melbourne Cup Carnival preview day at Flemington from Saturday to Sunday, October 3, after the AFL Grand Final was forced to replay after the draw last week. Club chief executive Dale Monteith said the stars of the turf would return to the Epsom Rd racecourse to battle it out in the event’s Group 1, $500,000 Turnbull Stakes.
“The famous Flemington lawns will be the perfect setting for relaxing with family and friends, with live entertainment, a host of kids’ activities, and a packed day of racing action,” Mr Monteith said. “As a result (of the Grand Final) VRC has been left with no choice but to move the race day to Sunday,” he followed. “We apologise to any VRC members or patrons who may be inconvenienced due to this move and will ensure a refund on pre-purchased tickets is available if required.”
Horse racing fans will also be able to see the new Flemington Visitor Centre, Heritage Trail and Walk of Fame – a historic tribute to past Melbourne Cup winners. You can sign-up for a new account at Sporting Bet and make all your horse racing bets online…
