The club attracted almost 2500 people last Saturday and 1000 have pre-booked this week.
Club chief John Miller said both meetings continued to grow in stature.
“It was a terrific crowd last weekend and the Christmas meetings seem to get better each year,” he said.
“They see it as the perfect opportunity to catch-up before Christmas in a good atmosphere and environment, with plenty of action not only for the adults but the kids as well.
“We have got 19 groups booked in for different packages, and while not expecting a big as crowd last week, we expect more members and the general public through the gates because a lot of people finish work on Friday and will be looking to wind down.”
The seven-race card attracted 100 nominations with the TAB meeting to be broadcast on Sky Racing 1.
Apart from the racing, there is plenty of fun and free activites for kids including pony rides, jumping castle, a tea cup ride, a visit from Santa and a lolly scramble.
Music duo “Aluka” will play in the beer garden between races.
Gates open at 11am, with the first race at 12.45pm.
