The Jungle Juice Cup, Cessnock’s flagship race from its inception in 1981 until the track ceased racing in 2020, will be run on the Newcastle course proper on Saturday.

Newcastle Jockey Club’s Legends Day will be held at Newcastle Racecourse on Sunday.

Newcastle Jockey Club’s Jungle Juice Cup meeting on Saturday has attracted 149 acceptors, and therefore there will be 10 races on the program.

Former racecaller Alan Thomas will be the special guest of Moree Race Club during next week’s Father’s Day weekend.

He may have ridden an Australian record 4447 winners in his amazing 49-year career but the legacy of jockey Robert Thompson that will stand, even if his benchmark is one day passed, is his reputation.
