Hinchinbrook Cup Delivers A Stylish Celebration

The 2025 Hinchinbrook Cup Race Day delivered a lively and memorable afternoon at the Herbert River Jockey Club in Ingham on Saturday, 15 November, with a program that unfolded into a celebration of country racing culture.

Crowds arrived dressed in their race day best, with shades of pink emerging as the standout choice across the lawns. The meeting featured five local races, although many attendees freely admitted that the social atmosphere held just as much allure. Fashions in the Field once again stole attention, and the introduction of a fresh category, Living the Hinchinbrook Way – 4850, added a distinctly local touch that resonated strongly with regulars and newcomers.

Families found plenty to enjoy as well. Children’s amusements kept younger racegoers entertained, and once the last horse crossed the finish line, the tempo changed but the enthusiasm did not. Live music and a DJ carried the celebration well into the evening, while the familiar hum of local and visiting bookmakers, the bar, and the canteen rounded out the day. It was a race day that blended tradition with local personality, and the community embraced every moment.
