Join us trackside for our first feature meeting of the season!

Spring has sprung here at Arawa Park with our first black type race of the season set to run on Novara Park Stakes Day.

Join us oncourse for a Sunday spent right!  We’ve got an exciting 8-race card on offer including the Group 3 Sweynesse Stakes and plenty of space to set up shop for the day.  You’re welcome to bring a picnic with your favourite raceday fare or, alternatively, make use of the food and beverage options available for purchase oncourse. Entry is FREE for all so bring your family and friends for a lovely day spent trackside.

A day where fashion, fun and fast horses take centre stage, it's also a day where we are celebrating the girls! Ladies, this is your moment to shine — dress to impress and be in to win a luxe hamper for the Best Dressed Women, with judging in both the Members Area and the Sponsors Lounge.

Speaking of the Sponsors Lounge...for those seeking a proper day out, tickets are only $120pp incl. GST. Treat yourself to the Sponsors Lounge package, which includes:

  • Entry to the exclusive Sponsors Lounge
  • Delicious lunch and a beverage package
  • Live entertainment for one hour after the last race
