The turf has been preened and the drinks will be flowing when punters walk through the gates tomorrow for Lismore’s premier race day.
The jockey club is hoping a bumper crowd will help financially redeem a year marred by wet weather and cancelled race meets.
“We do about 30-40% of our annual income tomorrow so it’s a really important meeting and we want it to go well and everyone to enjoy themselves.”
With horses lining up from as far away as Brisbane and Taree, organisers are expecting a strong day of racing.
“All of our races have got high numbers of acceptances. We had 150 nominations which is also a good sign.”
The $45,000 Lismore Cup is scheduled to run just after 5 o’clock tomorrow.
