Off track activities have generated fantastic support and the Gulargambone Rugby Club will be on site early for their end-of-season celebrations.

Family gatherings and a reunion or two have been scheduled to coincide with the 100 Year Race Meeting.

"Fashions on the Field will be again be hotly contested we have top support from our sponsors so great prizes on offer.’’

‘’The Lollie Lady will be handing out ‘’Energy Pills’’ for the kids,‘’ she said with a chuckle.

‘’Plus a Rural Transaction Centre stall will also help our farmers.’’

"Post-Cup Gulargambone will go music crazy with live entertainment at the pub and bowling club to ensure the party goes on.’’

Track set and ready for today's Gold Cup racing at Gulargambone.

Long term locals Warren Hull and Barry Malone who have served the Jockey Club for more than 50 years will also be honoured and each winning owner will receive a 100 year anniversary rug.
