THE excitement is building ahead of the Godolphin Puckapunyal Cup meet to be held this weekend, with a bumper day of action planned.
Last year, the Puckapunyal Cup returned to the Seymour Racing Club (SRC) calendar with a bang and has now moved to the marquee Sunday slot, promising entertainment for the whole family.
SRC Chief Executive Chris Martin, said in addition to eight thrilling races the day will pay homage to the nation’s military history and Seymour’s connection to the Puckapunyal Army Base with the Presence of the Light Horse Brigade.
“The Puckapunyal Cup was a massive success last year,” he said.
“Our region has a proud military history, and we are pleased we can provide a day to celebrate our past and current ADF personnel. We are excited to be able to host the Light Horse Brigade trackside and provide free entry for ADF personnel and families.”
While the meet will have a distinct military feel featuring static displays by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and some Australian Light Armoured Vehicles, there is something for everyone.
“Bring your family and friends to the Puckapunyal Cup and enjoy everything country racing has to offer. For the kids, we will have face painting and pony rides trackside, and our snack bar and public bar will be open all day.
“The Bar Landy has benefited from some great renovations over the past couple of months, with dining packages available,” Mr Martin said.
Do not miss the action this Sunday, April 27, with gates opening at 12pm. Entry to all ADF members and families, including a marquee is free.
