Norm Smith medallist Bobby Hill is the Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes ambassador
Get set for an electric evening at The Valley on Grand Final Eve with Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes Night on Friday, September 27.
It’s an exhilarating night of Group 1 racing under lights like no other, boosted by the arrival of a brand-new, high-energy entertainment zone, Fairway Beats & Eats.
Fairway Beats & Eats will see The Valley’s infield reimagined into a haven for golf enthusiasts as they swing and putt their way to glory at Lights Out Golf, with plenty of fantastic prizes up for grabs from sponsors including Ladbrokes, Drummond Golf and MGI Golf. The night will be capped off with a live full set from international superstar DJ, Topic. Fairway Beats & Eats will also offer a range of food and beverage outlets plus other entertainment throughout the night.
Lights Out Golf is a thrilling new golf experience featuring targets up to 40 metres away to test your chipping skills, while golf simulators will provide the excitement as players tee off in a battle for honours for the longest drive, all under lights.
There will also be the chance to win big and take home $10,000 at the Ladbrokes Legendary Putt. One shot, one opportunity to pocket cold hard cash by tackling the unique L-shaped hole that will challenge golfers of every ability.
German DJ Topic will perform after the last race on Ladbrokes Manikato Stakes Night exclusively in the Fairway Beats & Eats Zone. Topic has a string of worldwide platinum hits, including Breaking Me, which has amassed over six billion streams, Forget You, Your Love (PM), Home, I Adore You and My Heart Goes (La Di Da). The Valley will be his only performance in Victoria.
“We are thrilled to launch Fairway Beats & Eats, a brand-new activation zone that will provide patrons with an incredibly exciting and unique experience unlike anything seen on track before,” Troy Ratcliffe, General Manager Marketing & Communications, Moonee Valley Racing Club, said.
