Australian Light Horse Association activities over The Jericho Cup weekend

Unfortunately an administrative booking error has meant the Warrnambool showgrounds were not available for the ALHA on Saturday before the race this year!

An alternative site was not available and as a result the Australian Light Horse Association Jericho Cup Challenge and Tribute Ride will not be held this year.

However, we are fortunate to have small local contingent of ALHA for Sunday race day, however all other ALHA events are cancelled for 2023.
