We hope you can knock off work early and join us at Ellerslie for the only Melbourne Cup Day event in Auckland that will have LIVE horse racing. Beats a Tuesday in the office, that's for sure!
Back at Ellerslie for 2024, we will once again see this memorable event return to the Big E where guests can enjoy the thrill of the races in front a backdrop of some great hospitality.
In addition to the on-site racing, live coverage will be broadcast direct from Flemington with the big race – the Lexus Melbourne Cup – screened live for all to see.
And 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.
So whether you sip Champagne in one of our hospitality precincts or do it your way in general admission, we hope you can join us for the afternoon and enjoy Auckland’s most authentic Melbourne Cup event.
