The top seven attending Members will be treated to a VIP day at the races as a way of acknowledging and thanking them for their outstanding patronage to Flemington throughout the year.

Members honoured on the day will have their names etched into Flemington racing history with a race on the program named in their honour.

The initiative is part of the VRC’s Racing Rewards, launched on 1^st August 2001. Racing Rewards aims to reward the most regularly attending Members by offering them exclusive access to a range of racing and non-racing related benefits which includes Members tickets, dining discounts, champagne vouchers and entry into a series of prize draws including overseas trips to feature international race meetings such as the Singapore International Cup.

Rosemary Kenny attended almost all-34 of Flemington racemeetings last season making the journey from Bendigo on each occasion and will be among the lucky seven regular racegoers to be acknowledged on the day.

Other racing regulars enjoying the VIP treatment for a day include William Price from East Kew, whose trainer son Mick Price will have a two runners, Cornbread and Best Intentions in the race named after his father William.

George Vella, of Avondale Heights, David Benham of Abbotsford, Maxwell Hawkins of Ringwood, Michael Brondou of Thornbury and Ansis Dizgalvis of Hawthorn will also share the inaugural race names of the VRC Racing Rewards Race day.

Three levels of Rewards are achievable and are dependent on the number of Reward points accumulated throughout the Racing Season. Reward points are earned whenever a Member attends a race meeting at Flemington and scans their Membership Card through the Members turnstiles.
