The Race That Stops The Whitsundays

The Bowen Turf Club and Hillery Group Bowen Cup is fast approaching, and this year’s Cup is even bigger, with six races! One more than last year.

Bowen Turf Club Treasurer Helen Daley is expecting another busy event with over 3000 people expected to attend and sit back and enjoy a day filled with racing, socialising and cold drinks.

“I enjoy seeing everybody having a great time,” said Helen.

“It's all about the people socialising in a fun atmosphere with the local races happening.

“I look around, and everybody is just having a good time, which is what all we want.”

Tickets for the premium marquee are sold out, and there are very limited number of table tickets available.

A table sits eight people and costs $100 - they are perfect if you fancy having a comfortable home base for the duration of the day.

It wouldn’t be a race day without high class fashion and this years Fashions On The Field at Bowen Cup is sponsored by Pilcher’s Recycling.

Fashion experts can enter the competition and there five categories this year.

Race times are yet to be confirmed but Bowen Turf Club will open their gates at 11am.

General admission tickets are available now via Oztix and are $20 plus booking fee, on the day tickets will be $25 plus booking fee.
