Kids Go Racing

For children there is free entertainment all day with Kids Go Racing. The popular activities for under-12s have a fun equine theme, with classics ‘pin-the-tail-on-the-horse’ and the horseshoe toss. Prizes will be up for grabs and kids will have a chance to meet Hopples, the friendly horse mascot.

Other kids activities include on-track races, a scavenger hunt, lolly scramble and colouring-in competition.

Adults enjoy the live music, local food and drink and the chance to relax and unwind whilst studying the race form. A punters club will be operating on the day, for your share in the racing action tickets are $10.
