BLUE PYRENEES ESTATE AVOCA CUP Be entertained, dance the day away and experience true country racing at the Blue Pyrenees Estate Avoca Cup. The Blue Pyrenees Estate Avoca Cup is a day to let your hair down, get amongst the racing action, celebrate an occasion or reconnect with friends after a long winter.

Live Music.

Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin as you dance the day away to Pink Moon and Madhouse.

Well known for a fun day out, the Avoca Races are so much more than a typical race meet.

Free Kids Fun. Kids are always welcome at the Avoca Races. Along with a jumping castle, the Avoca Primary School run sports and craft fun.

The Road Trip.

Located centrally between Ballarat, Bendigo and the Grampians region; and only two hours from Melbourne and Geelong...whichever road you travel, throw on some tunes and release your inner road tripper.

Fashions on the Field.

Avoca’s Fashions on the Field has now worked its way on to the must compete list of any Spring Racing Fashion enthusiast.

Pyrenees Wine Country.

Been working hard? You totally deserve to stay the entire weekend and unearth the countless cellar doors on your journey home.

Not-For-Profit.

You’ll be welcomed by plenty of hard working volunteers at the Avoca Races. The Club are not-forprofit and valuable contributors to the local economy, driving tourism and supporting local business.

Camping with the Stars.

Imagine Friday knock off drinks around a campfire and then being able to walk to and from the track...

Racing Action.

Avoca is grass roots country racing at its best!
