Spectators and participants from all over Far North Queensland and Cape York flock to the Laura Amateur Turf Club each year for the weekend-long races and rodeo, with inter-state visitors beginning to attend.
The Laura Races have been going for over 125 years and this year the event will be held over four days, 22, 23, 24 and 25 June with a six-race meet, horse sports, camp drafting and of course, a rodeo.
“This family friendly event unites people together,” Laura Amateur Turf Club president Graham Love said.
“We all enjoy the country atmosphere and the excitement of watching all the fabulous events and music and dancing add to the nightly entertainment.
“The backbone of our organisation is our band of volunteers who work tirelessly and regularly to improve our facilities for the benefit of the community.”
