Canberra Racing Club Chief Operating Officer Amy Squires said “We are thrilled to provide our patrons with trusted brands and high-quality products”.

Lion Representative Lynton MacPherson said “Lion and the Canberra Racing Club have forged a long and successful history together and we’re very pleased that this will continue. Thoroughbred Park is one of Canberra’s strongest venues and we are pleased to provide their customers with Australia’s strongest beer brands.”

The Club has also entered into agreements with local beer brands BentSpoke Brewing Co. and Capital Brewing Co. which will see locally brewed beers stocked at Thoroughbred Park for the first time.

BentSpoke Founder and Head Brewer Richard Watkins said “Thoroughbred Park has been a long-term partner of the Canberra Community and BentSpoke Brewing Co. is excited that a close neighbor is supporting local Independent Canberra beer.”

Capital Brewing Co.’s Liam Thomson shared the sentiment stating “We at Capital Brewing Co. are excited to offer our products and welcome the partnership with the Canberra Racing Club.”

“We are stoked to have our products offered to the local racing community as well as interstate visitors to Thoroughbred Park. We hope that our products add value to the Canberra race day experience.”
