From The CEO The 2024 Sportsbet Ballarat Cup celebrated plenty of local success with the McEvoy Mitchell Racing team taking out the 1st three races and the team from Henry Dwyer Racing rounding out the 10-racecard. Michael Dee saluted in the feature Cup race on Captain Envious for Horsham trainer Paul Preusker. It was a solid day of racing with competitive fields despite the terrible wintry conditions and high number of scratchings experienced again for the 2nd year running. We really have been unlucky with the conditions for the last two Cup events.

But on behalf of BTC, I extend heartfelt appreciation to the race sponsors, club sponsors, members, owners, stakeholders, contractors and suppliers and patrons who braved wet conditions again and supported the race day. Feature events don’t just happen and there is a lot of hard work and long hours by all the BTC team to deliver such an event. I’m exceptionally grateful of all the work completed by staff to ensure the grounds, facilities and track was in A1 condition for our big day. While it is understandable that we are disappointed with the days experience due to the weather, we were buoyed by your support and encouragement on the day and in messages of congratulations and appreciation received after the event. Thank you sincerely.

We focus now on renovation of the course proper and continued works on capital projects underway. BTC is scheduled to Return to Racing on Wednesday February 14, 2024 with a special twilight race meeting.

We wish all of our key partners and stakeholders all the very best for a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Safe New Year!

Take care and we’ll see you back on track in 2024.
