The village of Quambone is a remote village in the Coonamble Shire of New South Wales some 370 miles north-west of state capital Sydney, but just 35 miles west of Connamble. Despite being very isolated and having a population of barely 250, the village holds its own races under the direction of Marthaguy Picnic Race Club and the Quambone Picnic Race Club. The Marthaguy Picnic Club first held races on Tuesday 24th May 1910, with a second meeting on Tuesday 18th April 1911 which featured the Marthaguy Cup over 1 ¼ miles. Detailed race results from that second meeting are shown below.

Today the Picnic Club stage meetings annually on a Saturday in late August or early September, the highlight of the meeting being the Marthaguy Picnic Cup over 1400 metres. Although in recent years the meeting has suffered more than its fair share of abandoned events due to rain and waterlogging, some of the recent Cup results are shown below.
