Read the full storyThe Herbert River Jockey Club’s annual race meetings are fast approaching and with little more than 5 weeks to go until our first major Racing Event for 2025, preparations are well and truly underway for the JULY 12 INGHAM GOLD CUP. Everyone in the Ingham district experienced an extreme start to the year, and with the Jockey Club grounds having also being adversely affected by the widespread flooding, the hunt for local community support has never been more important!
Our annual Race Days are two of the most popular events Ingham has to offer on the social calendar, and this year we are promoting them as an opportunity to bring the community together in the wake of such devastation.
We’ve heard the terms “resilient”, “community” and “spirit” repeated over and over. Now is a perfect time to come together as a community, to show our spirit, and support our local Racing Events. The perfect opportunity to catch up with friends and put the worries of the world aside for a day.
We’d like to acknowledge Sponsors so far who are graciously supporting our 2025 events.
Race Day Sponsors:
Ingham Shire Council, Stokes & Company, Cellarbrations, NQIB Insurance Brokers, Ingham Mazda, Wilmar Sugar and Renewables, W&T Garden Bails & Treeloping, Hinchinbrook Electorate Office, Ingham Agencies, MobbsMarr Legal, Frosty Mango, Beauty on Lannercost and Snippers Boutique for Hair.
We’d also like to thank the other local, Townsville and away businesses that have kindly supported us through donations.
No donation is too big, or too small, and we’ve got some amazing Sponsorship Packages available that will give you free entry tickets, free track-side tables, as well as extensive business exposure on social media, the Jockey Club Website, the official Ingham Gold Cup Race Day Poster, as well as in our Race Day booklets.
