RECENT RAIN PRESENTS FOR WINX NIGHT AND PORT OF BRISBANE CUP.
A recent fall of 2 inches has presented Gunsynd Park in perfect order for Friday night’s Winx Book launch and Port of Brisbane Cup on Saturday.
Club president Geoff Makim inspected the grounds on Sunday and gave the thumps up. “As good as I have ever seen it” Makim declared with an air of excitement.
The weekend commences on Friday night at 7pm when special guest Peter Tighe, the part owner of Winx visits Goondiwindi for the Winx Book Launch. Peter will give all the inside stories about some of Winx’s mighty performances and will be on hand to sign any of the new release books that the Nook Book store will provide.
“It will be a great night president Makim explained with the Winx Story and the euphoria of all of her wins , followed by some light music by Phil Oshea and Sam Brown and all will be finished in time for patrons to visit their preferred venue to witness the Mundine Horn fight which is due to commence at 9.30pm.
Winx won an incredible fourth straight Cox Plate in October this year and there remains a strong possibility she will race on into the autumn next year.

Saturday is the annual Port of Brisbane Bush to Port Race Day featuring the running of the Port of Brisbane Cup. Local racing will get underway at 1.30pm with the last at 4.20pm. A large crowd is assured with over 500 people already booked into private parties alone on the picturesque Gunsynd Park.
There will be free entry sponsored by Burleigh Beach Tower and one lucky patron will win five nights’ accommodation at Burleigh Beachtower in low season by placing the entry form into the barrel provided. The club will supply two jumping castles for children entertainment as they strive for a festive family atmosphere.
Again, on Saturday, Phil & Sam will entertain the crowd after the last local race until 7pm before the crowd will transfer to the Golf Club next door for the family fireworks and Christmas night.
The Goondiwindi Race Club has been privilege to host the Qld Book launch of Winx and for Peter Tighe to attend has been a real bonus. Peter will be the guest of the club on Saturday as he enjoys a touch of Country racing Goondiwindi style.
Those that miss the Friday night launch can still purchase a book on Saturday and have Peter autograph the book on site form the Nook Book stand.
