All the pretty horses

AJC Spring Racing Carnival
What is it about the racetrack on a clear, spring day that makes your heart flutter? Is it the equine athletes in the Mounting Yard, the free flowing champagne or simply the kaleidoscope of frocks, hats and silks?

Spring Carnival is here so it’s time to ink these four key race dates into your diary:

George Main Stakes Day – Saturday 26 September – General Admission $20
Ladies, get your glam on because this is your day. ‘Spotters’ will be wandering around looking for the four best dressed to bestow prizes.

Arrowfield Stud Super Saturday – Saturday 3 October – General Admission $35
‘The Carousel’ makes its debut appearance on the lawn, offering guests a unique enclosure featuring live entertainment, gourmet catering and champagne. Want to roam free? Make sure you get along to Fashions on the Field for a chance to behold the Best Dressed Male, Best Dressed Female and ooh and ahh over winning millinery. 

City Tattersalls Cup Day – Saturday 17 October – General Admission $20
Take the kiddies out to play at Family Day. Let them burn off some energy on the jumping castle and jockey for attention with a pony ride.

Daracon Melbourne Cup Day – Tuesday 3 November – General Admission $35
If you can’t be in Flemington, do the next best thing and head down to Randwick for a full day of horsing around.
