Melbourne Cup Sweep
Harvey L. is planning run two sweeps ( Blue and Red) for the Cup as in previous years.
This means have 48 horses available over the two sweeps provided there are no last minute scratchings. The cost is $5/ horse and partners are welcome to be involved so $10 /couple
You are welcome for 2 horses.
# Please email Harvey or contact by mobile to nominate the number of horses required.
# A payment to the Club General Account. Ref: Your Name/Cup/ with payment of $5 for each horse.
Blue Sweep will be first, followed by the Red and entries will be recorded in order of the emails or texted received, with a payment as priority.
As only the horse numbers are available on the previous Wednesday and barriers not know until the Sunday before the Cup. I will organise a supervised draw of the Horse Numbers 1-24 for your entry requirements and advise your entry number by Wed 28th October 26. Final details will be available the Monday before the Cup
The pool for each sweep will be $120 split 1st $ 80 2nd $30 3rd $10
I keen for all members and partners have a Cup interest and encourage them get into the spirit of Cup week early.
Club Christmas Party is booked at the Knox Club for Wed 2nd December 2026.
A 2 Course meal 50/50 split, Mains and Dessert plus entertainment will be provided for $52/person.
Shia has also organised with Darren Hill, the President of the Rotary Club of Knox, for them to join us for a joint Christmas celebration. A nice thought for this smaller Rotary club.
