So… does anyone actually know the rules of a Calcutta? 😂🐎

We asked the crew at our working bee, and let’s just say… we got some interesting answers. 👀

One thing we do know: the Surat Diggers Calcutta is happening the night before race day!

The bar upgrade is officially complete, and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers, committee members and community for all the hard work, laughs and helping hands along the way.

A special shout-out to Webster’s Select Timbers for supplying the beautiful new timber bar and Josh McNamara for coordinating the crew 👷

Now there’s only one thing left to do… start serving your drinks on race day! 🍻🌾

Even if your horse doesn’t place on race day, you’re still in with a chance to take home something special. 🎨✨
We’re hosting an exclusive Poppy Lounge raffle featuring an incredible piece of local artwork from Zarabella Bambling, with goodies from The Bird Bath and so much more

The catch? You’ve got to be in the Poppy Lounge to be in the draw. With limited lounge tickets available, your odds just got a whole lot better. 🥂🎟️
