The Phillip Hughes Memorial Race Day will again run at the Bowraville Race Course on Tuesday.
The Nambucca River Jockey Club has partnered with the Macksville Ex-Services Club to run this event. This year’s feature event will be the Phillip Hughes Flying and it will be the headline contest on a six-race program.
Racing NSW has confirmed that this event will now be a Sky 2 TAB meeting each year going forward.
The Boxing Day race meeting has always been a ‘catch-up’ gathering for people returning to the area for the holiday season. Most locals would be aware that Phillip attended the Bowraville race track regularly, and he loved to join his local mates for a relaxed day out.
The club is keen to continue this event in Phillip’s memory and to continue the tradition of camraderie.
