WIN $10,000 for Your Local Sporting Club
One lucky club in the North-West, one in the South and one in the North will each secure a $10,000 windfall for their clubs.
Tasracing is excited to unveil the Community Sports Series, a groundbreaking initiative that was conceived in 2023 with the inaugural running of the Carpet Charge. This innovative 1009m sprint was added to the Devonport Cup Day card featuring 12 runners and boasting a substantial $109,000 prize pool—the richest sprint race on tapeta across Australia. To further involve the community, a community sports club component was introduced. Twelve teams from registered clubs were randomly selected to align with the 12 runners in the Carpet Charge. Each club was assigned a horse, and the total prize pool of $25,000 was distributed, with one fortunate club winning $10,000 for their organisation. Last year Rosebery Athletics Club took home the $10,000 first prize. It looks like rock drilling is making a comeback at the Rosebery Athletics Carnival in 2024! This year, the concept has expanded to cover all three thoroughbred Cups, with a cumulative prize pool of $76,000 distributed among 40 sporting clubs across Tasmania.
Mark your calendars for the key race days:
• The Carpet Charge at the Devonport Cup on Wednesday, 10 January 2024. • The Benchmark 60 at the Hobart Cup on Sunday, 11 February 2024. • The Benchmark 64 at the Launceston Cup on Wednesday, 28 February 2024. Teams will be randomly allocated a horse, and prizes will be awarded from 1st place through to last place, creating a thrilling atmosphere of anticipation and competition. For local sports clubs, this is a golden opportunity not to be missed. Register your club for the random ballot and uncover all the winning details, including terms and conditions, by visiting www.lcss. tasracing.com.au. The Community Sports Series is calling—get involved, have fun, and stand a chance to win $10,000 for your club!
