The Cooktown Race Day is held annually, with 5 races on the program.
The event starts at 1.30pm with 'Fashions on the Field',
followed by a 'Presentation Dinner Dance' on the Saturday Night.
This years Race Day will be held on 18th July 2009
The one-day, self-funded meeting attracts Trainers, Owners, Jockeys and Horses from as far South as Townsville. Cooktown is one of only two country clubs in Queensland still holding a self-funded Race meeting after the withdrawl of Queensland Racing funding. Prize money is in excess of $20000 plus trophies, sashes and bonus incentives.
The Races are a great community event enjoyed by many - from both Cooktown and further afield.
