It’ll be Sweet on Wednesday
Canberra Racing Club will host the Clubs third patron free racing meeting on Wednesday 6 May. Run under strict bio-security control measures the Club and the Racing Industry across the mainland of Australia have been able to continue racing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite not having patrons on course the races at Thoroughbred Park have continued to be action packed with people tuning in via Sky Channel instead.
Three favourites won on the day and most of the remaining races were won by horses well in the market. The real upset was Whycatchim’s win in the Federal, having his first start for Luke Pepper yard. Blaike McDougall took riding honours with a double and the training honours were equally shared.
Wren’s Day created plenty of interest competing in the final race and got the favourite punters home.

Changes to TAB Federal Prize Money at Thoroughbred Park
The Canberra Racing Club has maintained business continuity through the continuation of patron free race meetings at Thoroughbred Park which also remains as a viable Training Centre. These aims have been achieved whilst protecting the health and safety of Staff and Racing Industry Participants whilst engaging in best practices to minimise the spread of COVID-19 within the community.
Today 87 people at Thoroughbred Park were provided the Influenza Vaccine in the interest of minimising illness and the impact on health services in the coming months. The Canberra Racing Club arranged this on behalf of the staff of the Club and also provided the opportunity for tenants and the stables within Thoroughbred Park. This initiative was directly implemented to assist The Club’s main aim during the COVID 19 crisis to protect the health and safety of our Staff and Racing Industry participants.
