Ellerslie Returns for Summer
A day at the races fits into a category of its own and unlike Fashion Week, more is more. For many, a day spent trackside at Ellerslie is the biggest event of the year (and for good reason). The thrill of thoroughbred racing paired with the glamour of a fashion-fuelled social affair is unmatched.

This summer, Ellerslie's events are set to become the hottest tickets in town as the season kicks off with none other than the iconic TAB Karaka Millions. Aotearoa’s richest sporting event, boasting a prize pool just shy of a staggering $4.5 million, is more than just a celebration of horsepower on the track, it's a night of elegance, excitement, and entertainment. It’s firmly established itself as our local racing calendar’s most glamorous evening and has a crowd of devoted attendees who are sure to be spotted, glass of champagne in hand, in the trackside hospitality precincts.

After the quick-fire race card has been run (and millions won!), a live band is set to kick off the famous afterparty, setting the stage for a night of dancing and celebration. Pop duo the Sweet Mix Kids, renowned for their fabulous fashion and masterful ability to keep a dance floor alive, will take over and play everyone into the night.
