Eight Group and Listed races dominate the 30 races held over the three days (Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday).
At this meeting Riccarton Park becomes the focal point of spring racing with the very best three-year-olds travelling to Christchurch seeking to emulate some of the greats of the Australasian turf by winning either of the Guineas races.
Grand National Festival of Racing – August
A three day meeting (Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday) held in the first week of August. Horses, trainers and owners travel the length of New Zealand to race over steeplechases, hurdles and the flat. The Wednesday now conducted on the Polytrack.
Riccarton Park Christmas at the Races - December
The Christchurch home of thoroughbred racing provides you with wonderful options for your end-of-year celebration. Twilight racing action with a live band and all the festive fun you need for a great evening out.
