2024 Red Beret Hotel Cairns Cup Carnival Ambassadors Announced  

The Cairns Jockey Club (CJC) yesterday unveiled its 2024 Red Beret Hotel Cairns Cup Carnival Ambassadors in Dannielle Atkinson along with Brett & Tina Cahill.

Breaking from the tradition of having a face of the carnival, the CJC has freshened up its look and reinvigorated the carnival by appointing the 3 ambassadors. The 3 will feature in marketing, promotion, and advertising in the lead up to the August carnival dates, as well as specific race day duties.  

CJC General manager Cameron Riches said “The Red Beret Hotel Cairns Cup Carnival has been growing bigger and better every year, so it was time that our carnival, face/ambassador grew and evolved with it.”

“We chose these 3 as they bring promotion, passion and knowledge around all things Cairns, racing, events and fashion. All the key aspects that go into a successful cup carnival.”

Local racing enthusiast and industry figure Dannielle Atkinson brings a unique look to the carnival, combining her passion for racing with her love of fashions. The daughter of a trainer and jockey, herself a former stable hand and now form and tipster for the CJC, Dannielle has also competed and won sashes in many fashions on the field events.

“I am thrilled to partner with the CJC in this ambassador role. The Cairns Cup Carnival always features tremendous fashions, high class racing and excellent hospitality. For someone that enjoys all facets of the day it is an excellent event.” Dannielle was quoted as saying.

The glamour couple of Brett and Tina Cahill complete the trio of ambassadors for the 2024 carnival. Local business owners Brett and Tina are also horse owners and club sponsors, both spoke about the anticipation of their new roles.

“Nothing beats getting to the races with mates and enjoying the racing and atmosphere around a track. I’m looking forward to promoting and showcasing the CJC offerings and how not to be missed this year’s Cairns Cup will be.” Brett said.

Tina added “The Cairns Cup Carnival every year is always the two best race days to attend. To be involved will add another layer of excitement to the event for me. The cup is always evolving and with the addition of the new Gordons Pink Gin Garden party it adds another undercover comfortable area for people like myself.”

Along with the announcement of the ambassadors tickets for both days of the 2024 Red Beret Hotel Cairns Cup Carnival have been released and are on sale.

This year’s carnival is again held over 2 consecutive Saturdays with the Ladbrokes Newmarket Ladies Day 17th August 2024 and the feature Red Beret Hotel Cairns Cup Day on 24th August 2024.
