Time to buy in to Boort’s big Cup day

Boort Trotting Club is gearing up for its showcase Sunday, headlined by the pacers and trotters cups, with free admission and a cavalcade of activities to thrill the local community and trots lovers.

A deep field of entrants have presented for the $14,500 Councillor Neil Beattie and Family Boort Pacing Cup, part of the $35,000 Trots Country Cups Championship, which is drawing to a gripping conclusion.

The field will also be released tomorrow for The Honourable Peter Walsh Boort Trotters Cup, part of a big race card that will be streamed live on TrotsVision this Sunday. Among the races will be the Robert Coutts Memorial Trotters Handicap, now a $12,000 standing start.

The day will celebrate the industry, with pony trots and HRV HERO re-trained standardbreds on course, as well as provide plenty of off-track entertainment, including yabby racing, music by Susan Foley and her band Bahn Tre and a Kids Korner, with a monster crocodile jumping castle, games and giant surfboard ride.

And there are plenty of prizes to be won, including a Gold Coast holiday, Fashions on the Field and members' racebook prizes, as well as a Darren Carroll led Punters' Club.
