YOU CAN’T CALL YOURSELF A RACING ENTHUSIAST UNLESS YOU HAVE SPENT A DAY AT A COUNTRY RACE MEETING.
The Moulamein Racing Club is holding its annual race meet on December 10, bringing hundreds of avid racegoers to the picturesque track.
It’s the first time the club has hosted the meeting since 2019, and club secretary Katarni Mcglashin said they were ready to welcome back fans.
“We have upgraded our pavilion, added new toilet facilities, so it is going to be a much more accessible and well-put-together experience,” Katarni said
“We didn’t want to host the meeting if it wasn’t authentic.”
The dirt track, which is set on a relatively untouched rural reserve, features a short 100-metre straight, making it a unique experience for both the horse and spectators.
“Each country racing club is special,” Katarni said.
“They have their own identity, their own feel, their own set up. We have one of the most picturesque tracks which is set under the box trees, so it’s a really unique experience.”
The day, which will see the see the town’s population quadruple, includes a six-race card as well as the highly competitive Fashions on the Field.
“The openness of the track allows people to experience the day how they want to,” Katarni said.
“They could be having a family’s day out, a ladies’ day, a day with the footy boys or a Christmas party.
“No matter what, they will be having a great day.”
Food trucks and a bar will be available for visitors.
Moulamein Racing Club is on Moulamein Rd, Moulamein, NSW.
