Murrumbidgee Turf Club CEO Steven Keene Discusses The 2020 Wagga Gold Cup

Bronte & Sam spoke to Steve Keene from the Murrumbidgee Turf Club this morning about how the two biggest race days of the year will look amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

There's no doubt racegoers are disappointed that they can't watch trackside this year, with only trainers, jockeys and essential staff allowed on site.

But, you don't have to miss out completely! You'll be able to stay in the warmth of your home or work and watch all the action on Sky - the first race will kick off at 12:35pm.
