High-octane racing, hospitality & family entertainment combine to bring you this iconic occasion
The quality of racing is top tier, with the Group 1 Cambridge Stud Zabeel Classic and the Group 2 Hallmark Stud Eight Carat Classic heading up an exciting 10-race card.
For those with children in tow, kids under 15 years are FREE and we have a bunch of FREE activities for the them making attending a ‘no brainer’. We’ve got the likes of a bouncy castle, swingball and other organized games and activities on offer throughout the day to keep them entertained between races.
Remember too, if you’re a TAB account holder, head on over to the newly renovated TAB Winning Post where you can hang out for the day. All you need to do is check in with your TAB account details to gain entry and you’re golden.
And if you want to keep those festive vibes going, our friends at The Grand Tour Racing Festival are helping with just that by pulling out all the stops with great food, great music, and GREAT times you don’t want to miss. We’ll have The Grand Tour zone to keep you entertained between races and The Grand Tour x Zeffer Bar to keep you sufficiently hydrated, as well as plenty of tunes to bop the day away to with Beccie B and Bon Tempo on the decks. Don’t forget we also have an epic afterparty planned for you all!
So whether you’re looking to enjoy the day in a casual and relaxed atmosphere, marking the occasion in style at a private table, or dance the hours away in our party precinct, Ellerslie is the place to be to make this Boxing Day one to remember.
