Consider your Easter plans sorted

Hop along to Ellerslie this long weekend ​

Join us oncourse at Ellerslie to celebrate a great day’s racing including the Group 3 Trelawney Stud Championship Stakes and the 151st running of the Group 3 Manco Easter Handicap, recognised as one of the premier miles on the New Zealand racing calendar.

Rumour has it, the Easter Bunny will be making an appearance with chocolate eggs for some lucky racegoers. And it’s one of your last chances to get oncourse at the Big ‘E’ before we shut up shop for the season.

And if you’re a TAB account holder, head on over to the newly renovated TAB Winning Post where you can hang out for the day. All you need to do is check in with your TAB account details to gain entry.

First race (of 9) 12.25pm | Last race 4.47pm

Rumour has it...

The Easter Bunny called. Said he’s popping by for a couple of hours with some chocolate. Expect to see him on course between 2pm - 3pm.
