Leaving Geelong as dusk descends, settle back in your compartment with friends old and new. Jericho class passengers will enjoy dinner in the Dining Car and Turf Club patrons will enjoy a boxed meal and refreshments from our onboard kiosk as our heritage diesels whisk us through the darkness for a late evening arrival in Warrnambool.

Coaches will meet our train to transfer you to your hotel for a welcome night of rest.

Take your place in the premium marquee or wander throughout the course complex with your pre-purchased general admission ticket.

Engage in a flutter on your favourite horse ahead of the tension building for the premier event. Post the Jericho Cup, return to our hotels for a well earned rest and possibly a sleep-in.
