Avondale Cup & Guineas Day

Join us at Ellerslie Racecourse where racing's big names' eyes are glued keenly on the track in a bid to work out the emerging stars of Auckland's upcoming big week of racing, Auckland Cup Week, which kicks off later in the month.

Children will get to enjoy FREE use of a bouncy castle and swing ball sets, and you're welcome to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy in the outdoor, public spaces (just no BYO alcohol).

You can also get right up close to the horses in the brand new stabling block which has public walkways all around it.

Always a form-setter, the Avondale Cup & Jamieson Park Avondale Guineas races are fantastic lead-ins for Auckland Cup Week's big events.
