Angle Park Preview - Adelaide Cup Final - October 6
TELLING THE TAIL by The Shadow
We certainly have a MASSIVE night of racing here tonight at our premier track with the running of the 2023 Group 1 TAB Adelaide Cup (race 10 at 9.37pm), this event has $100,000 to the winner and it certainly will be a hot speed going to the first turn. Good luck to all connections of the finalists and I will stick with the flying Schillaci (5) as he certainly loves this circuit. Other highlights for this evening is the SA Country Cup (race 3), Adelaide Cup Consolation (race 5) along with the Premiers Cup over the 730m (race 7) which will see a huge clash of some classy stayers with plenty of prizemoney on offer going to the winners. Let’s hope we have a huge night on the punt so we can fill up the wallet for the weekend.

Having two blocks of time this will assist trial staff manage the changing of the lure etc.
When booking online please book as normal in these slots and it will be assumed that you want to trial on the dual lure. If a trainer does not want to trial on the dual lure then please book in different time slots.
When ringing up to book a trial please advise staff if you want to book a dual lure trial, bearing in mind there is only 20 trials and once gone there will not be anymore until the following week.
