The Ladbrokes Townsville Cup is the pinnacle of racing, a jewel in the crown of the Ladbrokes Winter Racing Carnival, and the ultimate action-packed day offering an unmissable experience. This is the final, and premier feature race day in Cluden Park's Ladbrokes Winter Racing Carnival and is sure to provide an electric atmosphere as part of Cluden Park's 150th Anniversary celebrations! The first Townsville Cup was run at Cluden Park in 1884, marking it as one of the richest in history and longest standing races in the nation. Now in its 140th year, the premier event is the pinnacle of racing and a drawcard for crowds from far and wide to compete in, and marvel over. Rush trackside for two of North Queensland’s premier races of the year: the Ladbrokes Cleveland Bay Handicap and the Ladbrokes Townsville Cup. Fashions on the Field will offer innovation, style and class, and great prizes for the winning entrants across all categories. Keep the celebrations rolling by kicking-on at the Official Afterparty held on the Fig Tree Lawns.
