PENRITH PACEWAY

PENRITH Paceway’s autumn features got underway with the PFD Cup last week and this Thursday night the time-honoured Renshaw Cup has attracted a strong line-up.

It is the second year the Schweppes Renshaw Cup will be run as part of the TAB.COM.AU Carnival of Cups and the Group 2 has attracted a strong field.

Last week’s PFD Cup winner Tiger Tara is backing up again for this week’s $50,000 feature and is the favourite having won his last three starts, including two races last week.

Defending champion Yayas Hot Spot is back to attempt to keep his title as well as 2014 Renshaw Cup winner Blazin N Cullen.

Others that have added their name to the Renshaw Cup honour roll include Smolda, Michael Frost and Washakie to name a few.

Schweppes Renshaw Cup night caters for everybody and there is even a chance to win a Toyota Yaris as well as many raffles and lucky racebook prizes that will be carried out over the night.

Entertainment is a priority for Penrith Paceway and the children will have fun when the Easter Bunny arrives. 

There will also be live music to kick-start the Easter weekend, Fashions on the Field and fashion stalls.

This is supported by our high standard of good food and beverages and a must for the night is a visit to the 140cafe and 3P’s Pizza and Coffee Lounge that has already received plaudits of applause from all quarters.
