Corbould Park gets the all clear to run Sunshine Coast Cup this Sunday

An inspection of the Corbould Park track this morning has given the all clear for the much anticipated Sunshine Coast Cup race day to proceed this Sunday.  

Sunshine Coast Turf Club Chief Executive Mick Sullivan said he anticipated thousands of people would attend the Journal / Weekender family race day on Sunday.

“It was unfortunate that heavy rain forced us to cancel the previous event but Sunday’s weather is looking great and a strong crowd is expected to enjoy two feature races being the $100,000 Chemist Warehouse Sunshine Coast Cup over 1400m and the $150,000 LJ Hooker Caloundra QTIS 600 2yo over 1200m,” he said.

Mr Sullivan said Sunday race days have steadily grown in popularity over the past year with many families using it as a great opportunity to enjoy a great day of entertainment at Corbould Park.

“Parents can relax on the lawns while enjoying a punt and children have plenty of room to run around.  We also have free kids activities including a jumping castle and a giant slide.   Entry for children is free and adults are just $10 so it’s a very affordable day for the whole family,” Mr Sullivan said.
