Autumn Racing Carnival
Welcome to New South Wales' Autumn Racing Carnival, which features a glorious 50 days of thoroughbred racing at its best.
The Autumn Racing Carnival brings together Metropolitan, Provincial and Country racing together with 120 race meetings and a host of social events and celebrations. From Lismore on the North Coast, Albury on the Victorian border and as far west as Cobar and Lightning Ridge there are a wealth of charismatic meetings to experience.
The Carnival kicks off on Easter Saturday March 22 with the first of Royal Randwick's race meetings and concludes on May 10 with the Hawkesbury Race Club's Gold Cup, which grows in stature and prestige every year and in 2008 will offer over $500,000 in prizemoney.
Highlights of the carnival include:
The world's richest 2 year old event - the Sydney Turf Club's AAMI Golden Slipper Stakes which offers prizemoney of over $3.5 million on Saturday April 19 and;
The Australian Jockey Club's Emirates Doncaster Day & David Jones Australian Derby which are arguably two of the most historic and prestigious races anywhere in the world on Saturday April 26.
The William Inglis & Son Easter Yearling and Broodmare sales from April 20 to May 6 where the very best of Australian Thoroughbreds hit the sales ring under the famous Moreton Bay Fig tree.
The partners in this great event, the Australian Jockey Club, Sydney Turf Club, Tabcorp, Racing NSW, William Inglis & Son, Star City and Tourism NSW are delighted to present the Autumn Racing Carnival - enjoy.
