Bush to Port Returns to Gunsynd Park for its 11th Annual Race Day

 

The highly anticipated 11th Annual Bush to Port Christmas Race Day is set to return to Gunsynd Park on Saturday, November 30. This iconic event doubles as one of Goondiwindi's biggest Christmas Party Race Days, promising a day filled with racing action, festive cheer, and top-tier entertainment.

This year's event will feature a five-race program, headlined by the PORT OF BRISBANE CUP BENCHMARK 65 Handicap. Early bookings for reserved sites have exceeded expectations, with over 1,000 patrons already confirmed to attend. The recent storms have left the track in pristine condition, ensuring ideal racing conditions for the day.

The Geran stable, last year’s champions with Dreamseeker, are expected to be strong contenders once again.

Exciting New Additions and Evening Entertainment

A standout addition for 2024 is the debut of the Setting Goondiwindi’s Sights Centre undercover stage, made possible by the Goondiwindi Race Club's successful application to the Department of Tourism. This new facility is designed to seamlessly transition into the undercover betting ring, enhancing the event experience.

Former local and acclaimed country artist Will Day will take the stage after the races, bringing his unique sound to an eager crowd. This marks his first performance on the new stage, setting the tone for a memorable evening.

Plan Your Visit

The Goondiwindi Race Club invites patrons to enjoy its renowned hospitality, including high-quality food, bar facilities, and a robust bookmaker's ring. To secure your spot, bookings can be made online at www.trybooking.com/CVNJW.

Visitors travelling from outside the region are encouraged to book accommodation early, as demand in regional centres can be high.

Join us at Gunsynd Park on November 30 for a spectacular day of racing, celebration, and entertainment.
