HELLO AND WELCOME TO OUR FIRST MEETING OF THE 2025/26 RACING SEASON AT THE VALLEY. Today marks the beginning of a momentous few months as we celebrate the final race meetings on the current track before redevelopment begins following the 2025 Ladbrokes Cox Plate Carnival. It is an exciting time as we prepare to deliver The Valley of Tomorrow. We are set for a brilliant Spring Racing Carnival, highlighted by Group 1 Charter Keck Cramer Moir Stakes Day on Saturday 6 September, Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes Night on AFL Grand Final Eve (Friday 26 September), and the Ladbrokes Cox Plate Carnival on 24 and 25 October. Today’s nine-race program features the Ranvet Travis Harrison Cup, run in honour of the late Travis Harrison, a gifted apprentice jockey whose life was tragically cut short in 1996. Among his career highlights was a win aboard Suma Peace in the Group 2 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at The Valley, now known as the Sunline Stakes. Thank you to all our loyal members who have embraced the Club’s new multi-season membership during this period of change. Your continued support is vital as we take this next step in the Club’s history. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Valley on Saturday, 23 August. CHAIR ADAM LENNEN CHAIR’S WELCOME Moonee Valley Racing Club respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respects to its Elders past, present and emerging.
