There is a very heavy demand for bookings and we wouldn’t like to see you miss out.

We look forward to seeing you all again for a boomer circuit and the Best Coast hospitality the racing industry has.

1 day out from Raceday and we have just completed the 7.00am track reading - it has come in as a 4 (HEAVY 8 ) but we do expect it to come into a 7 if all the stars align and we don’t get too much more rain!

The rumour mill is telling us there are some pretty slick North Island trainers that are hoping it’s going to be wet for their charges-
… can the South Island contenders hold them out??… I guess we will find out tomorrow!

Enjoy the video below of a couple of Kevin Myers horses having a work out this morning.

For those asking, you can come set up on the Saturday, we just ask that gazebo’s are secured as we dont want them on the track with the horses about and be at least 1m back from the fence so everyone can get to the rail to watch the races.

Here’s a wee snippet of Jill doing our course review for Trackside this afternoon.Any questions - ask away. 🐎🐎🐎💰💰💰🌞🌞🌞
