Ovens Ford Melbourne Cup Day Races | 5 November 2024

Horse racing is steeped in tradition and all about elegance and glamour and where better than the Wangaratta Turf Club on the day that stops the nation!

It's a blend of racing, music and socialising and trying unique culinary offerings, a truly memorable experience. Our Grand Oaks hospitality package has it all inclusive food, drinks and what a location. If you want to get a bit closer to the thundering hooves of the thoroughbreds as they pass, our raised mound precinct is the perfect location with casual food, drink and style at the Party on the Hill package or a Deluxe Marquee. 

If the Grand Oaks package is not for you that's OK because our racing takes place in a beautiful setting - lush green tracks, sunny days and fresh air. It's a great chance to enjoy the outdoors too. Our Trackside Umbrella Packages and Mini Marquees offer up-close racing experience with your own reserved area and accompanying tables and chairs. 
 

Fashions on the Field is back this year too, put on your best and finest and register on the day to take part! 

All of the days racing here and abroad will be on all of the big screens, experience the glamour of the fashions on the field and maybe even pick a winner!

Live racing and entertainment at Wangaratta Turf Club is as real as it gets!
