The South Burnett Race Club will be holding its traditional Anzac Day Races at the Wondai Racecourse on Friday.
The meeting is the 52nd Anzac Day meeting to be held at the course and is always popular after a morning of solemn commemorations around the region.
The Anzac Day meeting is one of the biggest meetings the club holds every year and all the marquees are already booked out.
Numbers will also be boosted by the many cyclists staying at the Wondai Sportsgrounds for the three-day “Weekend At Wondai” event organised by the South Burnett Rail Trail Users Association and Bicycle Queensland.
As usual, the meeting will feature an on-course TAB, live telecasts of interstate races, an undercover betting ring, barbecue and bar.
The traditional Fashions On The Field competition will have a “Poppies and Pearls” theme, and guests who dress to it can be in the running for some great prizes.
Gates will open at the track at noon; the bar will open at 1:00pm; and Race 1 will leave the barriers at 1:30pm.
Admission is $10 and patrons should bring cash because there’s no ATM or EFTPOS available at the track.
