Macedon Ranges trainer Liam Howley has two runners in the 2025 Macedon Ranges Ag Machinery Woodend Cup this Saturday (February 1).

Last year’s Howley won the Woodend Cup with prolific Cups winning galloper Station One … and he has two runners in this year’s feature event.

They are Fiftysevenyears, to be ridden by stable apprentice Danica Munro, and Bogues, with apprentice Rose Hammond Board.

The feature race is being run over 1856 metres, and has attracted a field of nine.

The Cup is race 7, for BM70 gallopers, on an eight-event program, with the first race at 1.01pm. and the final one at 5.11pm.

The meeting is part of Country Racing Victoria’s ‘Lunch On Us’ campaign.

Kyneton and Hanging Rock Racing Club hopes the Woodend Cup will attract a good crowd, following up on the club’s two recent Hanging Rock meetings.

There’s a free shuttle service to the racecourse from Kyneton train station at 11am and 12.30pm — stopping near the Kyneton Post Office.

The return trip is at 5pm.
