4 Chairman’s Welcome CHAIRMAN’s WELCOME – GDSC RAMORNIE HANDICAP 2025 It is again my pleasure to welcome the Board and Senior Management along with their members to the 2025 Grafton District Services Club Ramornie Handicap Race Day. I am sure you will all have a wonderful day of thoroughbred racing and social activities. I sincerely thank the GDSC Board and Management for their continued support of this great community event. On Monday last we had a terrific day at the Barrier Draw Luncheon where we were entertained by retired Champion Melbourne Cup winning Jockey Jimmy Cassidy and racing form analyst Mr Glen Munsie. I sincerely thank these guys for giving their valuable time to attend the function and make it so successful. We also held the time-honoured Ramornie Calcutta on Tuesday night and will hold the Westlawn Finance Grafton Cup Calcutta tonight, (Wednesday) at the GDSC. We invite everyone back to the GDSC to join in the fun. Prior to the Calcutta you may like to experience the award-winning restaurant for dinner or snacks. We hope you can come along. Today the Ramornie Handicap has again attracted a fantastic field of sprinters. I am sure it will be a great race as always. Thank you to all owners and trainers for your support of not only this race but for supporting the whole carnival, it is greatly appreciated. Today also features some strong support races with many of our long-term sponsors continuing their involvement. The main support race is the Tursa Employment & Training 1600m Grafton Guineas, with other events being sponsored by Grafton Rabbit Ride Share, Barastoc Horse Feeds, Fidelity Capital, The Crown Hotel, Winning Edge Presentations and Inglis Digital. Thank you to all sponsors your support is very much appreciated. Today the members bar will remain open for post-race drinks with members and their guests welcome to stay around for a catch up and prior to heading out or to the GDSC for dinner and the Westlawn Finance Grafton Cup Calcutta. Have a great day and we hope to see you tomorrow for Cup Day. Kind regards. Graeme Green, Chairman CRJC SO The Springboard to Fame XXXX JULY RACING CARNIVAL
