All-Star lineup for Super Saturday at Flemington
Flemington Racecourse will host its biggest day outside of the spring with Super Saturday set to showcase the best in Group 1 racing alongside FEAST by Melbourne Food and Wine Festival this Saturday 8 March.
Racegoers can experience an action-packed 10-race card, featuring seven at Group level including the Group 1 $2.5 million The All-Star Mile (1600m) which will see the highly anticipated rematch between Mr Brightside and Another Wil and other hopefuls including Group 1 winners Tom Kitten and Atishu. The other feature on the day, the Group 1 $1.5 million Yulong Newmarket Handicap (1200m) will see a field of 15 line up the Flemington straight including star mares Benedetta and Joliestar.
One lucky winner will walk away with $100,000 thanks to The All-Star Mile Owner Ambassador competition with seven everyday Australians selected at random including 76-year-old grandmother Rhonda, and young mum Chelsey.
Off the track, FEAST by Melbourne Food and Wine Festival adds an extra dimension to the day with a precinct on the front lawn full of delectable bites from Spanish Tapas at MoVida, bold Argentinian flavours from San Telmo, Italian from Tipo 00 and Lee Ho Fook's famous Chinese cuisine.
The precinct also hosts kids' activities and across the day, racegoers can buy tickets for the Good Friday Appeal raffle. All proceeds support The Royal Children’s Hospital’s ground-breaking research, state-of-the-art equipment, and family centered care programs.
In recognition of International Women’s Day, The Victorian Wakeful Club will host its annual ‘Lady of Racing’ award to acknowledge outstanding females in the racing industry. Nominees include the VRC’s Racing Stakeholder Executive, Rebecca Cassar, Managing Director - Kick Collective, Vicky Leonard, and trainer, Gwenda Johnstone.
