Setting the pace at Carrick

The Carrick Park Pacing Club would have to be the success story of harness racing in Tasmania.
The track is considered to be the oldest racecourse in continual use in Australia and its longevity is no surprise as the club regularly puts on a great day of entertainment and racing, with something to please every member of the family.
The club’s three-race meetings this season will be run on Friday 31 December, Sunday 6 February and Sunday 6 March.
The first meeting on Friday 31 December will feature the Cressy Transport Tasmanian Country Championship.
Sunday 6 February will feature the Maxfield Drilling Meander Valley Cup
The Page Transport Carrick Cup meeting will be held on Sunday 6 March.
All meetings will start mid to late afternoon and finish around 8pm.
As always, there will be a wide range of food available and a well-stocked bar.
The pony trots are always a popular feature and on New Year’s Eve, music will play until late.
If interested in attending, a very generous membership offer is available. At $20 for the season, members receive admission for two, to each of the three-race meetings, plus a stubby of beer or soft drink at each meeting.
