Phew, What a Day!
The dust has settled, the final glass has been poured, and what a day it was. The Seppelt Great Western Cup once again delivered an unforgettable race day—where country racing, premium wines, and great company came together in the heart of the Grampians.
The day began as it should: on the lawns of Seppelt Great Western, where racegoers gathered under the summer sun, a glass of something sparkling in hand. There was an effortless energy in the air—old friends catching up, first-time visitors soaking it all in, and the anticipation of a big day ahead.
By the time the first race was called, our VIPs had made their way to the track, filling out the marquee as the excitement built. Things got busy on our end, as the atmosphere shifted from relaxed to electric, with the unmistakable thrill of country racing taking over as the horses thundered down the straight.
A Marquee Worth Talking About
For those in the Seppelt VIP Marquee, race day wasn’t just about watching the action—it was about savouring every moment. With an expansive selection of premium Seppelt wines, a menu of gourmet food designed for those Italian-esque long, leisurely afternoons, and unbeatable trackside views, it was the kind of experience that made the day feel extra special.
Around the tables, race tips were being swapped, glasses were raised, and the celebrations kept rolling—big wins, close calls, and just the pure joy of being part of something this spectacular. The marquee has long been the place to be on Cup Day, and this year was no exception. It’s no surprise that tickets sold out well in advance.

And Then Came Sunday…
The action didn’t stop at the racetrack. On Sunday, the Great Western Show & Shine took over, shifting the focus from racing to classic cars, vintage charm, and a celebration of all things automotive.
From meticulously restored muscle cars to rare vintage models, the streets of Great Western were lined with history on four wheels. After the adrenaline of race day, it was the perfect way to slow the pace—wandering between polished chrome and custom paintwork, chatting with owners who live and breathe cars, and soaking up the relaxed, community-driven atmosphere that defines this part of the world.
