High-octane racing, hospitality & family entertainment combine to bring you the iconic occasion that is the SkyCity Boxing Day Races.
Ask any Aucklander how they spend Christmas, and chances are they’ll say it’s with the people they “have to” spend it with – but that’s okay, because Boxing Day is when they get to be with the ones they choose at the iconic SkyCity Boxing Day Races.
With its signature carnival atmosphere, Ellerslie transforms into a vibrant sea of colour and energy as racegoers celebrate the end of another long year and the excitement of the new one ahead.
Whether you’re looking to kick back and soak up the vibes or join the party, the SkyCity Boxing Day Races are the place to be.
Congratulations to the connections of Snazzytavi, winner of the Group 1 Cambridge Stud Zabeel Classic.
Congratulations to our best dressed winners: Maman Fashions in the Field Womenswear winner, Sheree Sheehan, and the Golf Warehouse Menswear Award winner, Patrick Seng.
Together with Love Racing and Hawaiian Airlines, our Pick The Winner competition - whereby racegoers and online entrants were asked to select which horse they thought would win the Group 1 Cambridge Stud Zabeel Classic - close to 800 people successfully selected Snazzytavi as the winner of that race and subsequently go in the draw to win a prize from Hawaiian Airlines.
Congratulations to entrant #760, Hannah Petterd, who was drawn as our competition winner!
