Bringing the kids?
There’s free children’s entertainment throughout the afternoon, along with a special appearance from the North Pole’s most famous visitor, ensuring younger racegoers are well looked after.

Located in our general admission space, we’ve got a bouncy castle, mini golf holes, face painting, ponies to pat and swingball (lawn tennis) sets for the little ones to enjoy - for free.
Younger ones joining us on course can come and collect a FREE activity pack from the Raceday Office or our face painters to keep them entertained between races.
Few horses captured the public imagination like Bonecrusher. The Frank Ritchie-trained chestnut was immortalised in Bill Collin’s unforgettable call of the 1986 Cox Plate, when Bonecrusher went to war with Waverley Star and emerged victorious in a race recognised as “the race of the century”.
