Carnival and Events

An air of anticipation pervades the racecourse. The tension is electrifying — the colours, the smells, the bookies, the punters, the people. Crowds roar as the tightly bunched field of horses round the last bend with a thunder of hooves. The jockeys spur their mounts on for that last burst toward the winning post ...

The Australian Jockey Club’s Autumn and Spring and Summer Racing Carnivals provide the ideal occasion for an exciting day out, while watching Australia’s top racing champions, jockeys and trainers in action.
