THE 2013 TAB Werribee Cup is about more than just racing.
In fact, the spring timeslot is the perfect occasion for racegoers to enjoy the fun, food and fashion available on course.
For the style savvy, the Fashions on the Field event will again take centre stage in front of the grandstand with the competition expected to be just as hot off track as on.
Werribee Racing Club general manager Ross Kendell said the on course entertainment was a highlight of last year’s Cup.
“We are doing Fashions on the Field and that went fantastically last year,” he said.
“Historically it used to be out the back but again we are going out in front on the grand stand because people loved to be able to watch that in between the races last year.
“If entrants want to go on the website they can download the registration form and then fill it in and send it back to us.
“Otherwise they can register online.”
As well as the fashion, there will be plenty of eating and entertainment options available at the course.
This year will see two live music acts performing as well as two big screens to give racegoers the ideal view of everything that is happening.
The Werribee Racing Club is also presenting the 2013 TAB Werribee Cup Day Draw.
Punters will have the chance to win one of five prizes including a home theatre package.
There will also be a special members draw and children’s entertainment on course.
“We are really encouraging everyone in Wyndham who would like to see the race club and this facility prosper to come along to the Werribee Cup,” Kendell said.
“It is really important that they get behind the club and turn it into a date that starts to have its own tradition and own history so that we can get people to lock it in.
“We are confident that over a period of a couple of years we can really grow it into something special.
“This is primetime and the best date the club has had for seven years.
“To have this here, we want to keep it and really make something out of it.”
