The festive season is set to launch in style as the Gunnedah Jockey Club prepares to host its hugely popular Christmas Hams Race Meeting at Riverside Racecourse on Saturday December 6.
The occasion will be packed with racing, entertainment and Christmas cheer.
The track is looking excellent, providing a safe and fair racing surface for horses and a great viewing experience for racegoers.
A strong afternoon of country racing awaits, with seven competitive races scheduled.
Families will enjoy plenty of action off the track, with jumping castles, lawn games and kids’ activities running throughout the day.
A great selection of food trucks will serve crowd favourites, alongside a full bar offering cold drinks.
Live music will help set the festive tone, with Leon Cunningham providing entertainment and keeping the atmosphere buzzing between races.
Fashion lovers can take part in Fashions on the Field, with great prizes up for grabs across a variety of categories.
Those who enjoy a punt can make use of TAB facilities and on-course bookmakers.
Adding an extra touch of Christmas spirit, every person entering the gates will receive a free raffle ticket, with three Christmas hams to be won throughout the day.
To make transport easier for patrons, courtesy buses will run to and from the venue.
With great racing, entertainment, food, drinks, giveaways and fun for all ages, the Christmas Hams Race Meeting is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season.
Bring your friends, gather the family and join the Gunnedah Jockey Club for an unforgettable day at the races.
