Not sure where to go enjoy the Melbourne Cup atmosphere next Tuesday afternoon? How about forming a group and heading to the Hatrick Raceway?
The Wanganui Greyhound Club will conduct the New Zealand Tuesday greyhound meeting for the big day, with the first of 12 races set down to be dispatched at 5.50pm.
All bar, cafe and tote facilities will be open and operating from noon - the course TVs will be carrying live racing action from Flemington, as well as from all the domestic meetings. The big Melbourne two-miler jumps at 5pm.
A limited number of reserved tables (no charge) for groups are available by contacting Bridget Belsham on 027 251 1500.
The greyhound racing promises to be action packed, as a number of visiting trainers are bringing numerous promising young chasers to Hatrick to contest the seven 520m heats that will be held for the $7000 NZ Racing Series Novice event.
