Time to saddle up for Hawkesbury Cup Day
Now in its 17th successful year of running since commencing in 2006 , Hawkesbury Cup Day ( Stand Alone meeting ) has proved a major success and featured some of Australia ’ s best trainers , jockeys and horses led by World Champion Sprinter Chautauqua , Zoustar , Alverta , Fravashi and Solicit among many others .
A fantastic day of autumn racing , fashion and fun !
With over $ 1.4 million in prizemoney , highlighted by the $ 200,000 Group 3 Richmond Club Hawkesbury Gold Cup 1600m and $ 200,000 Group 3 Blacktown Workers Club Group Hawkesbury Guineas 1400m .

The support from our sponsors has been fantastic . We are very excited to welcome back inaugural sponsor Richmond Club . We ’ re delighted that CEO Kimberley Talbot ( who last year received the NSW State Award for contribution to the community ) recommended to her board to continue their outstanding support of our club by sponsoring the Hawkesbury Gold Cup this year .
Our other loyal Cup Day sponsors that have also returned for 2022 are Blacktown Workers Club Group , St Johns Bowling Park Club , Living Turf , XXXX Gold and TAB . Also , special mention to local business Blakes Marine who has been a continual sponsor of Hawkesbury Cup Day for the past 16 years .
After what has been a very difficult start to 2022 with flooding in the Hawkesbury region , we are very grateful for the support and looking forward to a much-needed day of celebration , racing , fashion and great hospitality .
Off the track we have plenty of exciting hospitality and entertainment planned for the day . Why not indulge in our signature Ted McCabe Package ? Our chef has designed a banquet menu offering hot

and cold seafood entrée , a selection of buffet mains , followed by a sweet tasting plate , cheese stations and afternoon race day mini pies .
There will also be live music , food trucks and of course , fashions on the field . With stunning views of the Blue Mountains and having Clarendon Train Station right at our doorstep it ’ s the one day of the year where you don ’ t have to go into the city to experience top class racing
with the unique festival atmosphere that only Hawkesbury Race Club can provide .
On behalf of Hawkesbury Race Club , we wish you all a fantastic day of autumn racing , fashion and fun !
