For the speculators – someone has to win it – racingnsw.com.au reports that tickets are now on sale to share in $2 million prizemoney for Sydney’s The Kosciuszko.com.au sweepstakes, an integral part of the world’s richest race for country-trained gallopers. The Kosciuszko race is a 1200 metre sprint contest run under set weights and penalties conditions on the same day as The TAB Everest at Royal Randwick on Saturday 19 October 2024. The race is restricted to NSW country and ACT trained horses only. From 1 July 2024, NSW residents can purchase $5 sweepstakes tickets via the TAB App, local pubs, clubs, TAB agencies and at New South Wales race meetings. 14 winning tickets will be drawn on 11 September with each winner then selecting a NSW country or ACT-trained horse to race in their ‘slot’, once they have agreed with the horse’s owner group as to how they will share prizemoney for the race. Tickets sales will close at 11:59pm on Monday, 9 September 2024. The highly anticipated The Kosciuszko sweepstakes draw will then take place on Wednesday, 11 September 2024 and will be broadcast live on Sky Thoroughbred Central and racingnsw.com.au. The Kosciuszko sweepstakes is conducted under Permit GOCSC/1058.
