In front of the picturesque backdrop that is the Grampians, Dunkeld racecourse will on Saturday play host to their annual country cup in a year like no other.

No fewer than 12,000 packed out the once-a-year meeting at Dunkeld last year, however the club is expecting no more than a few hundred owners on course when the country cups circuit really heats up this weekend.

In past years, the cricketers would run the bar, Lions club members would direct traffic into the parking bays, Rotary would look after a BBQ that fed hundreds and school kids would take care of the ticket boxes. "Dunkeld is a once-a-year race meeting that is one of the most iconic country race meetings in Australia," he said.
