Join us for the 2024 Gawler Cup Barrier Draw & Calcutta!
Kicking off with the Barrier Draw at 6pm and your chance to help assign a barrier to a Gawler Cup nominated horse, followed by the Calcutta hosted by Sportsbets Felix Von Hofe.
The bar will be open and bistro dinner menu available for $22.
THE TICKET DRAW
Tickets are $5 each and are available both prior to and on the night. The Calcutta commences with one ticket being drawn for each runner in the Holdfast Insurance Brokers Gawler Cup. If your ticket is drawn, you ‘own’ that horse ahead of the auction stage! All proceeds from the ticket draw go into the prize pool.
THE AUCTION
Each horse will be auctioned to the attendees at the Calcutta, who have the opportunity to bid for that horse. You can bid on your own, or you might choose to pool resources with others at your table.
After the hammer falls on each runner:
50 per cent of the sale price goes to the person who drew that horse in the ticket draw; and the remaining 50 per cent goes into the ever-growing prize pool.
The highest bidder in the auction stage becomes the new owner of that horse. Successful bidders must pay for their horses on the night – Cash and EFTPOS facilities will be available.
AFTER THE RACE
After the running of the Holdfast Insurance Brokers Gawler Cup on Friday 25th October, the prize pool (consisting of all ticket sales plus fifty per cent of auction proceeds) is divided as follows:
60% to the owner of the winning horse;
20% to the owner of the second placegetter;
15% to the owner of the third placegetter;
and 5% the last placed horse.
Like a sweepstakes only better!
