The Kangaroo Island Cup Day - the big one! Join a crowd of around 3,000 people trackside to celebrate all that is great about country racing as the best horses from far and wide race for the Kangaroo Island Cup.

Dontation 

The committee of the club have decided to donate any net profits generated from our 2019/2020 racing season to our Kangaroo Island Mayoral Relief and Recovery Bushfire Fund.

The money raised through the Kangaroo Island Mayors Bushfire appeal will go directly into the hands of islanders that need it most. This will help those directly impacted by the devastation caused by the fires and will help them face each new day with financial assistance to rebuild their lives, homes and businesses. This is the official donation appeal for Kangaroo Island.

For anyone who can not make the race day but would like to dontate please use the details below - 

  • BSB: 105 094
  • Account Number: 035 680 540
  • Account Name: Mayoral Bushfire fund

We will be offering a range of pop up bars for you to enjoy with friends, trackside. These include the ever popular PIMMs bar, a Pirate Life beer bar as well as a Dudley Wines sparkling bar.
