The Co-op has been announced as naming rights sponsor of the Wauchope Jockey Club’s iconic race. The partnership aims to take the December 26 event to the next level and cement its reputation as the best place to celebrate Boxing Day in the Hastings.
“We are thrilled to throw our support behind the Hastings Co-op Woop Woop Cup, as it’s a perfect fit with our community values,” chief executive officer Allan Gordon said.
“The family race day is a highlight of the Christmas season for people of all ages, attracting holidaymakers and locals alike, and a great opportunity to socialise with friends and family while enjoying the horse-racing.
“It’s fantastic to see the Cup grow in stature over the years since its inception in the early 1980s, as a Bundaleer fundraiser.”
As well as being major sponsors of the race day, Hastings Co-op’s Department Store will sponsor the hotly-contested Fashions on the Field, so race-goers are being encouraged to start planning their race day outfits.
Wauchope Jockey Club president, Greg Partridge says this year’s Hastings Co-op Woop Woop Cup is shaping up to be one of the best ever, with planning well underway and nominations expected from all over NSW.
“We will have record prize money this year, and we are delighted that Hastings Co-op have come on board. It is lifting the profile of what is always a great day,” he said.
