There will be thousands of people flocking to the event and secretary of Kempsey Race Club John Graham is expecting a very competitive field throughout the day.
“It will be a full schedule with eight races and the Steve Keir Memorial and the Kempsey Cup itself are shaping up to be two great races,” Graham explained.
Graham realises the importance of the event for the Kempsey locals.
“It is always a great and positive day for the community and they give us a lot of support. We never have any issues with the crowd.”
“It is one of the few events in Kempsey that everyone can get involved in and be a part of.”
The defending champion Single Spirit is likely to race in the Kempsey Cup and it will head into the meeting on the back of two 5th place finishes.
The rest of the field will be nominated on Monday October 31 with acceptances to be made by Wednesday November 2.
The Kempsey Cup will wrap up a huge week in horse racing in Australia with the Melbourne Cup to be ran on Tuesday.
