4 Chairman’s Welcome CHAIRMAN’s WELCOME – westlawn finance grafton cup day 2025 It is my great pleasure to welcome you here today to the 2025 XXXX July Racing Carnival, featuring the 3rd running of the Westlawn Finance Grafton Cup. On behalf of the CRJC Board I warmly welcome all our valuable sponsors, the Westlawn Finance Board and senior management, their distinguished guests, our Members, Owners & Trainers, and all other patrons. I also acknowledge our Life Members both past and present, for their great contributions to the CRJC. Thank you one and all, without them we would not have thoroughbred racing of the magnitude we have today. We have a fantastic program of racing and associated activities scheduled for today and I am sure everyone will have a great time. The feature race is of course the $200,000 Listed Westlawn Finance Grafton Cup 2350m. This race has attracted a fantastic field of stayers, and I can’t wait to watch it, good luck to everyone. We get racing underway with the exciting 1400m Sky Racing Mother’s Gift followed by The Provedores Class 1 Handicap also over 1400m and the Corbett Earthmoving Big Super Maiden 1175m. This will be followed by the exciting 2YO NBN News Springboard to Fame 1175m. Race 5 is the Village Green Hotel BM66 1000m followed by the ERA Legal Belflyer Stakes 1175m. Race 7 is the Westlawn Finance Grafton Cup 2350m and the final race of the day is the time-honoured Sir James Kirby Quality 1000m. For the fashionistas there will be judging of the fashions on the field down on the West lawn during the day so if you’re interested please ensure you go down and participate for some great prizes and a lot of fun. We certainly thank all our great sponsors of the fashions on the field events. I hope you have a wonderful day and do not forget we are back to wrap up the carnival on Sunday when we hold the Maclean Bowling Club Maclean Cup when we have plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, including the highly competitive Kids Fashions on the field, playgrounds and merry go rounds to keep them happy, along with great music on the west lawn. I thank all our management and staff for their great commitment and dedication, as always, but particularly during this very busy carnival, thanks to the Track Team, the Admin Team and Management, the Kitchen team and all our casuals who help out every year. Thank you all, you are all amazing. Kind regards. Graeme Green, For and on behalf of the Board of Directors CRJC SO The Springboard to Fame XXXX JULY RACING CARNIVAL
