CBR Fair – Weddings, Events, Travel and Lifestyle
Sunday 1 March 2020 10am - 3pm Thoroughbred Park
Welcome to the Fair.
The CBR Fair is ready to flourish on Sunday 1 March 2020 at Thoroughbred Park, as we celebrate 10 years in the nation's capital.
Race 1
Twilight racing returns to Thoroughbred Park this Friday evening with proceedings kicking off at 2:50pm. The strong racing card will be joined by an abundance of entertainment for all ages. With live music, plenty of kid’s activities and free entry it’s a great night out for the whole family.
The smoke has well and truly cleared from the Canberra region and it is business as usual for trainers and jockeys. It’s a strong card with excellent representation from metropolitan stables. The track will present in good order and the rail is out 6 metres the entirety. The day’s feature is the BM70 TAB Federal Handicap (1200m).

Canberra Racing Preview - January 8th 2019
The rail pushes out 6m for the entire and we race on a good surface. Smoke in the capital has been heavy the past fortnight but with blue skies produced today, the meeting should go ahead.
Race 1 @ 1:25pm: John McGrath Auto Group Handicap (1000m)
Canberra Horse of the Year (2018/2019) Prince Jacko makes his return after a 5-month spell this Wednesday at Thoroughbred Park. Trainer Keith Dryden will be hoping his 7-year old can replicate the form that saw the gelding miss the podium just once in his past 8 starts. The only miss was a strong 5th, only 1.1L back, in a TAB Highway. If Prince Jacko is to continue his rich vein of form, he will have to offset a tricky barrier.
Canberra Racing Club Chief Operating Officer Amy Squires would like to announce the Club will be supporting The Australian Red Cross disaster relief that supports those effected by bushfires and other disasters.
$1 from every bottle of water and Iron Jack lager sold during the month of January on race days and during functions will be donated to support those affected by the recent fires. I encourage all members to purchase a water or a beer to support this worthy cause.
The Canberra Racing Club waste no time springing into action post Xmas festivites, hosting a very healthy nine race program this Friday. A strong contingent of gallopers from leading Sydney stables are bound to make their presence felt, particularly in the quaddie legs. We race on a Good 4 with the rail slightly out (4m) for the entire.
Race 1 @ 1:00pm: John McGrath Auto Group 2YO Handicap (1000m)
