NEW STABLES OPENED AT BATHURST THOROUGHBRED RACING CLUB

A significant milestone has been reached as part of the $3.7 million upgrade to Bathurst’s Tyers Park Racecourse.

The new stables complex accompanied by a treadmill and walker has made the world of difference for local trainers and owners.

Member for Bathurst Paul Toole said the former NSW Government funded this project to reinvigorate thoroughbred racing in the region.

“The investment was rolled out as part of the NSW Government’s COVID-19 stimulus package and resulted in much needed work for local tradies off the back of the pandemic,” Mr Toole said.

“Racing has a long and proud history in the Bathurst electorate and the racing industry is significant to our local economy and sporting culture.

“These upgrades will help ensure our local racing industry remains sustainable and vibrant and have been completed just in time for the upcoming Panorama Cup on September 14.”
