Following the unforgettable TAB Karaka Millions night, we hope you've had time to recover, rest your feet (and head), and get ready for a more chill day spent trackside celebrating all things summer.
Come and join us for some fun in the sun at Ellerslie this Summer Raceday.
We have two black-type races heading up the days 8-race card and there will be plenty of free activities for the kids to keep them entertained.
The Grand Tour Racing Festival is also doubling up and bringing the trackside tunes for you to kick back and relax to in style. We’ll also have The Grand Tour zone to keep you entertained between races and The Grand Tour x Zeffer bar, the perfect spot to grab a drink, park up, and rest the hooves in the shade.
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.
It’s the dream location for a great family day out so pack up the picnic and trot along!
