Euroa electorate horseracing
Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (10:26): The Euroa electorate has once again demonstrated why it is the heartbeat of horse training, breeding and racing in Victoria. The past weekend was the Kilmore Cup, one of our amazing local races that I am so proud to sponsor. We also recently saw the 2024 Benalla Gold Cup, an event that has grown each year to now have more than 3000 attendees, and the Annabelle Cleeland Euroa Cup, which had over 1000 people from across the region. The Seymour Cup had over 2000 attendees, proving to be very profitable and attracting jockeys and trainers from right across the country ahead of further exciting races throughout the year. Not only that, but this year’s Melbourne Cup-winning Knight’s Choice is trained by Seymour local John Symons and owned by Cameron Bain and his dad Rod. The cup itself toured the town last week, bringing it back to the people. These events are more than just racing. They contribute so much to our regional economy by bringing tourism to our towns and supporting local businesses. Congratulations to Cam Symes, Chris Martin and Ben Murphy for captaining an incredible racing season.
