That meeting will be held on Sunday, March 9, with country singer Adam Brand performing live.
To kick-off the meeting last Sunday, the babies showed what they could do around the unique Blayney track.
Trainer Peter Bullock was lucky enough to train the first three past the post in the two-year-old event.
Here's hoping that next month's meeting can have more two-year-olds on the track.
In the second event, the three-year-olds went to battle, even seeing driver Peter Barnes dislodged from the sulky aboard 'Slims the Man', who managed to keep hold of the horse and get out of the way of the rest of the field as they continued the race.
Bathurst trainer/driver Nathan Hurst then took out the event with 'Flight Express' in a solid 2.01 mile rate.
In the first class race that was held on Sunday, trainer Peter Bullock was able to get his second win, driving 'The Wife's Calling' himself and breaking the two minute mile rate.
Bullock seemed to be in trouble at the 400 metre pole by the Keven Rivett driven 'Blissed by Datmuch' who shot up four-wide trying to catch Bullock napping.
But down the straight, 'The Wife's Calling' was able to kick back and win by half a length.
Rivett did not go home disappointed though as he drove himself a winner in the next race, which was heat one of the Jack Honan series.
In the 2400 metre event, Rivett was sitting in dream position as he watched the leaders burn up front early on and then launch 'Corzan Effect' four-wide again to go straight past and win by an impressive 27 metres.
The Steve Jones-trained horse looks to be going into the final as the favourite but will be going up against 'Premium Angus', the winner of the last race and the second heat of the Jack Honan series.
Driver Emma Turnbull was able to make an early move to get to the front and later on win the race.
The Braden Sullivan-trained 'Alabama Rose' was very unlucky in the run, finishing fourth but it is a horse to follow in the future.
The club would like to see you there to watch the final of the Jack Honan Memorial, the Billy Soo Memorial, Adam Brand performing live and the rest of the TAB Carnival of Cups event on Sunday, March 9.
