The Towong Turf Club is expecting a record crowd and full fields for its Cup meeting on Saturday after receiving 268 nominations for the seven-race card.
The 2023 $30,000 Costello Rural-Life Plan Strategic Solutions Towong Cup is shaping up to be a hotly contested event with 2022 Mischinka aiming for a second victory.
Wangaratta – based trainer, Ben Brisbourne, has the mare in career best form having been placed in higher company at her past six starts.
Brisbourne has also nominated the well performed Oceans Of Stanima for the main race. Another contender is last year’s runner-up Euphemia who is trained by Gerald Egan and part owned by Wendy Heal and Dixie Coutts, daughters of past club president T J Waters.
The highest rated nomination is the Craig Widdison trained Banger which has been competitive in stronger races of late.
There will be the usual ‘Fashions on the Field’ sponsored by RB Sellars with more than $1000 in prizemoney, live music and free shuttle buses to get you to and from the track safely.
The seven-event race program kicks off at 1.35pm.
Final acceptors will be declared later today.
With fine weather forecast, the track is expected to be rated as a Good 4.
General admission tickets are available online at towong.tickets.countryracing.com.au/ or at the gate (cash only).
