Kumbia Race Club will be holding its annual “Flemington In The Bush” Melbourne Cup race meeting on Tuesday, November 5.
It will be a five-race meeting with the first race scheduled to leave the barriers at 1:00pm.
The fashion theme is “Perfectly Pink” for the Fashions of the Field, and there’ll also be a fundraiser for the McGrath Foundation.
The feature race, the Kumbia Cup (1400m), will be run at 3:45pm.
As well as a big Fashions of the Field competition, there’ll also be full TV coverage of the races from Flemington, including the Melbourne Cup at 2:00pm.
On-course bookies will be taking bets on both the local and interstate races.
A bus will be running from Kingaroy’s Carrollee Hotel to help punters enjoy the day without the hassle of driving, but bookings need to be made at the hotel.
Entry to the races is $20 or $15 if tickets are booked online
