The Burdekin Race Club is preparing for a special race day at the Home Hill Racecourse this Saturday, featuring a seven-race card and a heartfelt cause. This year’s event is dedicated as “Elenna’s Day,” a fundraiser supporting three-year-old Elenna Savorgnan, a local girl battling brain cancer.
The seven-race program offers a bigger-than-usual lineup, with prize money of $10,000 per race. Alongside the racing, the day will feature family-friendly activities including snow cones, face painting, a cake stall, and more. Entry is $2, with all proceeds going directly to Elenna’s family.
Local businesses have generously donated prizes, and table bookings have been strong, reflecting the Burdekin community’s commitment to rallying around one of their own.
Secretary-treasurer Leanne Gudge said, “It’s going to be a beautiful afternoon. We’re proud to support Elenna and her family. It really shows the strength of the Burdekin spirit.”
Gates open at 11:30am with full bar and canteen facilities available. Bookmakers will be on site, making it a fun day out for racing enthusiasts and families alike.
Come along, enjoy a fantastic day of racing, and help make a difference for Elenna and her family.
