Sydney Turf Club’s Golden Slipper Festival has been named a finalist of the inaugural Greater Sydney Tourism Awards.

The Club’s annual Golden Slipper Festival is nominated in the category for outstanding Festivals and Events.

Michael Kenny, Chief Executive of Sydney Turf Club acknowledged the honour of being a finalist in a competition which showcased the achievements of so many businesses in the Greater Sydney region.

“We often think of tourism in terms of attractions that are firmly planted in the Sydney CBD,” he explained.

“However, the great work of organisations based outside of the city in creating tourist opportunities which have positively impacted the local economy is being highlighted through these awards.

“We are thrilled at Sydney Turf Club to have our premier event reach finalist status.

“We see the importance of our role in greater Sydney and will continue to deliver the world-class racing and events at Rosehill Gardens for visitors and our community.”

Sydney Turf Club is one of 37 finalists in 20 categories of the awards. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner on 4 August at Castle Hill RSL Club.

Votes are now also open for the People’s Choice Award. Voting closes 28 July
