The Royalty of country cups…

The ‘Royalty of Country Cups’ – the 159th Warwick Credit Union Warwick Cup – will attract punters and fashionistas from near and far this Saturday 12 October.

The Warwick Cup is one of the social highlights on the region’s calendar every year and 2019 promises to be no exception.

With the drought foremost in everyone’s mind the Cup is a chance to gather together and celebrate what being part of a country community is all about.

The Warwick Turf Club – with its base at Allman Park on Victoria Street in Warwick – is one of the oldest turf clubs in Queensland – and is typical of country race clubs, in that it’s run by an enthusiastic volunteer committee whose members work hard to ensure the Club’s success.

The Club is vibrant and successful and has one of the highest rates of race nominations in Queensland.

The Warwick Cup is now firmly branded as one of regional Queensland’s richest and most respected race meets – it even pre-dates the Melbourne Cup – and has become a ‘must attend’ event on the Queensland regional racing calendar. Warwick Cup Day is stylish, surprising and fun for the most humble to the most sophisticated.

Head trackside and try your luck with the seven-race program and be in the running to take out honours in the coveted Rose City Shoppingworld ‘Fashions on the Field’.

And don’t forget the Helloworld Travel Warwick Cup Calcutta this Friday night, 11 October, at Allman Park – for more details visit www.warwickturfclub.org.au and check it out on Facebook…
