Roma Turf Club Rugby Race Day (Horse Racing)

Combining two favourite Aussie sports - rugby and races, the Roma Rugby Race Day is held in June.

In an effort to co-operate rather than compete for attendance for the regions major sporting events, the Roma Turf Club and the Echidnas Rugby Union club annually combine resources to host the Rugby Race Day.

The day of football and horse-racing attracts a good crowd as supporters as both teams playing in the Western Downs competition turn up in force for the big afternoon which is always followed by some gas heating around the bar to ward off the winter chill and music for post-match dancing.
