Auckland Thoroughbred Racing

Auckland Racing Club is the home of thoroughbred racing in New Zealand and our racedays at Ellerslie Racecourse are something not to be missed. With a mix of the finest entertainment, food, fashion & thoroughbred horse racing, it's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a day out with clients, colleagues, family & friends. With 160 years of racing tradition & a 364-day-per-year event centre on-site, we know how to put on a good show. As the premium home of thoroughbred racing in New Zealand, history is often written on our course. Many of our race winners have competed internationally after their victories on home turf, reinforcing this country's credibility and credentials in the sport. We look forward to welcoming a wide array of guests to enjoy our hospitality at Ellerslie over the 2017/18 season - whether it's a table of friends in Cuvée, a picnic on the infield or a stunning corporate marquee on the prestigious Champagne Lawn. Whether you're on course to race, celebrate, be entertained or simply enjoy valuable time with friends and family, we'll ensure you leave with a raft of lifelong memories.
