Members Announcement Regarding Canberra Racing Club Race Meetings
It is with much excitement that the Club can announce three exciting announcements for future race meetings at Thoroughbred Park from Friday 21 August 2020 inclusive and onwards:
1. The Members only tipping competition will return from 21 August 2020 at a starting prize pool of $19,000;
2. If a Member who tips the most winners out of all entries but not all six is pre booked into hospitality on course, they will win $500. If multiple entries have the highest number of wins the same as each other, which is less than six, no prize is distributed for the meeting (e.g. if two members tip five winners no prize is distributed for that meeting); and
3. The Canberra Racing Club will now be welcoming the public back to races as of the 21 August race meeting.
Members, Owners and Sponsors have priority booking for the 21 August race meeting, until 5pm on Friday 14 August.
Members, Owners and Sponsors will have an additional window of 5 business days (17-21 August) to priority book all future 2020 race days (including Melbourne Cup).
