Tomorrow's Gold Cup races at Coonamble are full of promise, with big acceptances, full fields and a beautiful spring weather likely to make it a huge day.

With winnings for the Qube Agri Big Dance Qualifier at $75000, and the total pool for the race meeting a sizzling $337,000, it is little wonder the event has caught the eye of top trainers, jockeys and racing enthusiasts alike.

The lure for the winning horse is a possibility of qualifiying for the Big Dance final - and the $3 million purse - at Royal Randwick on Tuesday 4 November.

High class runners have accepted for the feature and beware of the big interstate raiders in the Coonamble Gold Cup 1600metres.

Experts say it's one of the best fields seen on the track.

The powerful Hayes team bring Justadeel with its impressive form and top jockey Cody Nestor will ride for the first time.

Bookmakers have posted him $4.00 second favourite along with Sydney’s Bjorn Baker who has 4-year-old gelding Mawjood last start winner at Rosehill.

Baker also is building a big winning record in bush races. Mawjood firming in as favourite at $2.30.

Money has come for Fortune who is trained by high profile pair Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald and comes off a last start win at Randwick at this distance and in form Braith Knock takes the ride.

The Crystal Sprint is the prior race over 1200m with Muswellbrook trained Stratified favourite, Mystery Lad off his last start Tamworth win is well favoured at $7.50 and Tainu also has followers off his second in the same race.

Racing begins at 1.10 and 8 races planned and track is a good 4.

The Jockey Club volunteers have been on point with their fertiliser and maintenance program since the last meeting in June.

CJC member Graeme Proctor says it has all gone to plan and the 28 degree day forecast should make for a good day's racing.

"The track will go pretty well," he said.

"It's probably the best we've had for this time of year."

This year's Calcutta will be held at the Terminus Hotel this evening (Saturday 11 October) featuring a charity auction with approximately 10 lots available.

"On the night a package donated by the Jockey Club will include entry to Sunday's races, beverage vouchers and a merchandise pack," said Jockey Club committee veteran Ken Waterford.

Other items include two flights over Dubbo with a qualified instructor and the chance to take the aircraft's controls, a Kubota children's tractor with loader and trailer, a Nespresso coffee pod machine, and a portable generator.

This year's auction is being run in conjunction with the Tour de OROC campaign to raise funds for Macquarie Homestay and the cyclists are expected to be on hand for the fun.

Trackside on race day, the Jockey Club committee have the chill festive vibe down to a fine art.

The Fashions on the Field competition will award Miss Gold Cup, Best Dressed Lady, Best Dressed Guy, Best dressed Couple and Best Dressed Junior Girl and Boy with some generous prize packs.

Pooka the Clown will be there to distract the children while the ever-popular Brad Haling and his guitar will provide a suitable soundtrack throughout the afternoon.

Lots of shady seating, including marquees available for hire through the CJC website, food stalls supporting local clubs and a special champagne bar will cater to the crowds.

Gates open at 11.30am with the first race at 1.10pm and the final race concluding at 5.15pm.
