But you can bet there will be a similar amount of attention on Echuca Racing Club.
The venue is set to play host to the only other meeting in Victoria and local horse trainers are ready to make it a day full of celebrations in the twin towns.
Gwenda Johnstone will lead the charge with three runners across the day – the most of any trainer from Echuca or the surrounding district.
Mick Johnstone said Bon Shadow in the opening race on the card was arguably the stable’s best opportunity of victory.
If the four-year-old gelding is to salute at the post, he will need to hold off other local hopes including Daryl Archard’s Esprit’s Reward and Tayne Foster’s Grey Raptor.
Neville Allport’s Riverlea Virtuoso had been listed as an emergency at the time of writing.
“He’s been working well all week,” Mick said of Bon Shadow.
“There have been some promising signs in the past few weeks during his trials so hopefully that form can carry over.”
Rock’n’roll Heart will carry Johnstone’s hopes into the second race on the card in the four-year-old’s first start.
The Johnstone stable will also have Dry Creek Road return to the track for the first time in more than 12 months in race seven.
Jim Lake’s Honorellay will end its own four-month break.
“He’s got a bit of weight at on his back at 63kg, but we know he has the ability,” Mick said of Dry Creek Road.
“His jump outs form gave us the strongest indication, yet he was ready to race again.”
Race three will also have a strong local flavour with three entrants from the surrounding area.
Those include Cornish-Gaskin’s Crisis Time, John Pearson’s Praetor and Rhys Archard’s Super Quick Love.
And Mick Cornish is hoping his five-year-old gelding can have a change of fortune compared to his last two starts.
At Kyneton on October 4, he was galloped on then just three weeks later the gelding became jarred on a hard track at Benalla.
“The horse is well named considering what we’ve all been through this year,” Cornish joked of Crisis Time.
“He has been very unlucky in his last two races and we think his ready to hit the line and challenge at the end of races.
“We’ve been really pleased with his preparation so hopefully that translates into race day form.”
Cornish-Gaskin also have Madam Superior entered in the fourth race on the card where the five-year-old mare will face off against Pearson’s King’s Hand.
And the stable is hoping promising form – second and fourth places finishes from its last two starts – can turn into a victory.
“This will be her first time at 1400m,” Cornish said.
“We’ve found she has been still looking for ground at the end of races over the short distances.
“She’s got a nice barrier draw this time around and I think it should put her right in contention.
“We’ll look to ride her a bit more positively which we’re hoping will make a difference.”
Rhys Archard will also have Charcoal Annie in the fifth race of the day.
The first race is scheduled for 11.36am.
