The VRC teamed up with the Good Friday Appeal to raise much needed funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital. The generosity of racegoers saw more than $11,000 raised for the Appeal, which will partner with the VRC again on TAB Australian Cup Day on Saturday 25 March.
VRC CEO Steve Rosich said a bumper crowd descended on Flemington for Super Saturday.
“We were delighted to welcome 15,000 people to Flemington under sunny autumn skies, as they enjoyed world-class racing, food and entertainment,” Mr Rosich said.
“Our thoughts go out to both Jamie Kah and Craig Williams following their falls in race 4 and we wish them swift recoveries.
“We look forward to concluding the Flemington Racing Spectacular in style with our final Group 1 race day this month, TAB Australian Cup Day on 25 March, as we target a crowd of 50,000 across our four feature race days in February and March.”
