A recently replaced running rail is the latest improvement in Tottenham's long history of more than a century of Picnic Racing.

History of the meeting dates back to late 1800's and they're all set to go for today's meeting (Saturday 7 March)

NSW Picnics President Craig Tyack says the track has been put in top shape for the annual Cup meeting.

''It’s a great track and draws a big crowd so race fans will be out for fun," Mr Tyack said.

''I wish I could get there but I am trying to get fuel out for farmers.

"With petrol becoming short in supply it's just 24/7.

''The meeting has had a big build up and children's entertainment is going to be a real focus."

Live music also will get fans singing and dancing between racing.

Sam McBride will be performing today at the races.

There'll be a bus running out to the track every half hour from the Tottenham Hotel from 11.30am and return trips every half hour from 5.30pm.

Horse racing begins at 2pm with a class 3 Trophy over the 800m dash.

Zillions, trained by Sharon Jeffries, comes off a speedy win at Wellington so might begin punters' day with winning fortunes.

But the Tottenham Picnic Cup 1400m will be the feature.

Dubbo's Connie Greig will have picnic specialist Blackhall Kitty well prepared.

The 8 year old mare loves this distance, her best wins have come at this trip.

Pickaxe is top weight and has a big 71kg impost but that didn't stop her in the Condoblin Cup at the same distance.

Bobby's Secret ran a close second at Condoblin and punters will invest on his good form.

With cloudy weather and a slight chance of just a couple of millimetres of rain around 8am, it should be a pleasant day trackside. Plenty of shade with temperatures predicted in the upper mid thirties.

Fashions on the Field judges are playing it straight so dress to impress by keeping in mind their criteria 'appropriate for Country Racing' and keep local weather conditions in mind.

Just remember it's cash only at the course, so top up your wallets in town before you head out.
