WELCOME TO LADBROKES MANIKATO STAKES NIGHT AT THE VALLEY! We are thrilled to kick off the 2024/25 season of racing under lights with an impressive line-up of five Group races. Tonight also marks the launch of our exciting new precinct, Fairway Beats & Eats, a paradise for golf enthusiasts featuring the spectacular Lights Out Golf activation, golf simulators, and the Ladbrokes Legendary Putt competition, offering a chance to win $10,000. The highlight of the evening is the $2 million Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes, showcasing a stellar field of sprinters, including I Wish I Win, Hayasugi, and Growing Empire. Additionally, a coveted spot in next month’s Ladbrokes Cox Plate is on the line in the Group 2 Ladbrokes Feehan Stakes. Mr Brightside, the 2022 winner of this race, returns to The Valley for a thrilling showdown with Pride Of Jenni. With the AFL Grand Final tomorrow, the excitement in Melbourne is palpable, and The Valley is no exception. Join us in welcoming star AFL and AFLW players who will be in attendance tonight. Be sure to support our charity partner, Myeloma Australia, by purchasing a Cox Plate Carnival Charity Pin from volunteers on track. After the last race, international DJ Topic will perform a live set on the Fairway Beats & Eats stage, and all ticketholders are invited to enjoy the performance. Wishing you a fantastic evening at The Valley.
