Keep an eye out for event announcements & make sure you get earlybird tickets before they SELL OUT (because they will!).

FASHIONS IN THE FIELD
It wouldn't be the SkyCity Boxing Day Races without a fashion competition now would it? Time to start the outfit planning team because there are some brilliant prizes for the Best Dressed Female, Male and Millinery AND automatic entry into the regional final of The Ned Prix de Fashion for the Best Dressed Female.

FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT
Those with the younger generation in tow will be glad to hear we're bringing back free activities - including pony rides & a mobile barnyard - to keep them entertained within the Infield Family Zone, PLUS you can bring your own picnic lunch (& unopened, non-alcoholic beverages) into that area, plus the public lawns. What's more, children under 15 years get free general admission.

THE RACING
10 races, including some with that coveted "Group" status, will be run out on the track, set to entertain you between chats, champagne & the colour of the crowd
