The Winton Harness Racing Club’s feature race meeting of the season takes place at Central Southland Raceway in Winton this Saturday (20 March).

To mark the occasion the club is combining a premier racing programme with a large family day with plenty of activity to appeal to everyone.

The race programme includes the $20,000 Winton Businesses Cup and the $20,000 Southern Belle Speed Series Final.

Those feature races will be supported by a full day of racing commencing at 12 noon.

Complementing the racing is a ton of activity with something for everyone. 

Richard Race brings his model aeroplane for a demonstration, which is bound to enthral the crowd. 

A similar demonstration several years ago was an absolute crowd pleaser.

There is plenty for children to do and it is all free. Activities include a bouncy castle, sumo suits, pony rides, bumper balls, sack races and a lolly scramble.

There will be a Yabby (crayfish) competition and a horse gearing up race for trainers and drives.  

Admission is free.
