2023 Racing Lunch
Get ready to experience Melbourne's finest sporting lunch event, where passion for sports meets a noble cause held again at the MCG.
We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting not just the 2023 Melbourne Cup but also Dave Casey, the man overseeing Cup favourite Vauban’s trip ‘down under’, and renowned jockey, Steven Arnold, winner of 21 Group 1 races. Along side VRC Chairman, Neil Wilson we also have outstanding trainers Natalie Young and Troy Corstens joining us.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Zinc in October – it was an outstanding event with a great feeling in the room that resulted in one of our largest fundraising efforts for the Spring Racing lunch to date.
A big thank you also to our MC, Shane Healy who facilitated such entertaining and informative interviews, to our racing industry guests, leading trainers, Annabel Neasham and Rob Hickmott and VRC Chairman, Neil Wilson, and to Kath Saundry who gave us a remarkable recap of her time visiting Ruben and the Mukuru Slum.
As always, Paul Castran did an incredible job with the auctions.
We thank our wonderful Sponsors and the donors of our auction items, we are always so grateful for the wide array of items we have to assist in raising much needed funds for Ruben.
Our tally sits at just under $190,000. It would be wonderful to get to $200,000.
So if you are yet to renew your membership, take up membership or make a donation (every dollar counts!), please consider doing so now!
Thanks to John Toscano for the photos from the day
