Barfoot & Thompson Champions Day

Jam packed with features that everyone wants to win. This inaugural event is no doubt going to be an incredible day of racing so get set to frock-up, rock-up and cheer yourself hoarse.

It’s your chance to witness some of NZ’s best horses & jockeys vie for sporting glory with a host of black-type races run across the day including the Trackside New Zealand Derby, the Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes, the Sistema Stakes and the hotly anticipated 3.5M NZB Kiwi slot race. The racing is truly out of this world, you won’t find another day on the New Zealand racing calendar like it.

Add to this the national fashions in the field final, The Ned Prix de Fashion, an array of quality hospitality options to choose from, free children’s entertainment, as well as music and more from the team behind The Grand Tour Racing Festival, and an epic afterparty planned, our newly minted Champions Day will be one you’ll not want to miss.
