The day when the sound of hoof beats awaken us all from the slumber of Winter, Group I racing rings the bell and the excitement of the Carnival begins.
Whilst the rest of New Zealand watches with keen interest, nothing compares with being there to witness the unique atmosphere of the first leg of the Triple Crown of the Hawke's Bay Spring Racing Carnival. The Mudgway PartsWorld Stakes is a sensational race with NZ's best horses competing for the spoils.
Clearly the first tick on the discerning social and racing calendar – join the fun and see all the action live.
There is so much to see and do on course that the whole family will be entertained for hours! There is free facepainting, mini jeep rides, the famous bouncy castle, lots of competitions, a free sausage sizzle with More FM and the Junior Fashion in the Field Competition - don't miss it!
