The New South Wales town of Nyngan , located on the  Bogan River at the junction of Mitchell and Barrier Highways, is where the Duck Creek Picnic Races are held annually. The Race Club is named after Duck Creek, a tributary streaming from Beckett’s Creek, and first served Nyngan’s population of just over 2,000 people with races in 2007, with no evidence of races in the vicinity of Duck Creek prior to this date. Today the highlight of the Duck Creek racing calendar is the Duck Creek Picnic Cup over 1250 metres, with recent winners shown below.

In 2008, at the second annual race meeting organised by the Duck Creek Picnic Race Club, the Flashman and Chalker Duck Creek Picnic Cup over 1250 metres was won by Heresy (9/1) trained by Tammy Schmetzer and ridden by Ashley Boyd, beating Dream With You and Frenchman’s Cup. The previous year the 2007 Duck Creek Cup had been won by Dream With You.
