Thanks to all those who helped organise, set up, clean up, sponsor, support and attend our Annual Tullibigeal Picnic Race Meet on Saturday 26th March 2022.

Racegoers were treated to a wonderful day of perfect weather and family fun. We had Country Racing Icon, Col Hodges calling the race, our grounds were beautiful and green, the race track carefully maintained and our new under cover betting area further improved our annual Tulli Race Meet.

An impressive crowd of over 1200 beautifully dressed and eager to win attendees had a day of perfect autumn sunshine, quality racing and high fashion. Club President, Craig Tyack, said the Tullibigeal Picnic Race Club Committee were thrilled with the success of the race meeting.

“We had a stunning day with an energetic crowd. The atmosphere walking around the racecourse was vibrant and everyone seemed to have a fantastic day. On behalf of the committee I would like to thank the 1200 plus racegoers who came to Tullibigeal on Saturday, we really appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again next year”, said Mr Tyack.
