Family Race Day

The Association will be holding a family race day at Healesville Amateur Racing Club on Saturday 14 November 2009.  A day at the Healesville picnics has a gained a reputation for being one of Victoria's great value days out.  A comfortable sixty kilometres east of Melbourne through the renowned Yarra Valley wine district, the Healesville racecourse is shaded by beautiful elms.  Mount Rael provides a splendid backdrop for picnic racing at its best.

The whole family is catered for, with free entertainment for the kids while the adults can enjoy competitive picnic racing with full betting facilities available.  The Healesville racecourse is the perfect setting for a family picnic.  There is plenty of lawn space and many shaded areas for spreading the picnic rug.  The racing is keen with large fields.  The feeling of being close to the action where ever you are around the course, adds excitement to the pleasure of relaxing in a picturesque setting.

Tickets can be bought for $10 each.  There are a limited number of free family passes for the first 100 members who register.

Race sponsorship is available for $1500 (incl. gst) per race

Race sponsorship is a great way for a business or social group to enjoy the races.  If you are with a large group it is not only exciting but also cost effective to sponsor a race.  A race named after your business, group or club, and the opportunity of presenting the trophy to the elated connections of the winning horse is an exciting and fun way to advertise yourself.

Benefits include:

  • Sponsorship of a race on the day
  • Signage in the mounting yard and on the track
  • Presentation on the day by yourself, or a member of your group, to the connections of the winning horse
  • All trophies supplied by the club
  • Naming rights of the race in the race book
  • Full page advertising also available in the race book
  • 10 free double entry tickets

The availability of race sponsorship is limited and now is the time to book your package.
