The Parkes Harness Racing Club will close its Stallion Tender on Wednesday September 30 and with a number of exciting sires involved there has been plenty of interest.
The Parkes Club will be using the money raised from the tender to help fund a special promotion that has been planned during the town's annual Elvis Festival early next year.
The Parkes Elvis Festival is held each January to coincide with Elvis Presley's birthday.
Each year the festival grows and there are now more than 150 individual events over the five days in the town.
The Parkes Harness Racing Club will conduct a meeting on Wednesday January 6 next year in conjunction with the Elvis Festival and will send one lucky patron at the meeting on a $5,000 holiday to Memphis, Tennessee, the city Elvis called home after moving from Tupelo, Mississippi as a thirteen-year old.
The stallions that are part of the tender are:
Village Jolt kindly donated by Empire Stallions
Smiling Shard kindly donated by Alabar
Major Bronski kindly donated by Morley Park
Maffioso kindly donated by Clarinda Park
Pepper Tree Farm has also supported the tender by making a cash donation to the Parkes Club.
