Join us oncourse on Saturday 8th February 2025 for the iconic Legends Day. 

A day where not only are Waikato Thoroughbred Racing's two Group 1 features run and won, it's also a celebration of racing legends throughout history with eight racetrack champions now living the retired life set to grace Te Rapa with their presence. 

And the best part?  Entry is completely free!

If you think you might want to make more of the day, we've got a range of hospitality options available too that will suit all styles and budgets. 

Bringing the younger members of the tribe?  We'll have kids entertainment available on the Front Lawn including a bouncy castle and you can pick up a free kids pack from the Raceday Office as well. 

Those aforementioned Group 1 features are the G1 Herbie Dyke Stakes and the G1 BCD Sprint and they are supported by not one, but two Group 2 races - the David & Karyn Ellis Fillies Classic and the Legacy Lodge Waikato Guineas - plus 5 other races on the card. 

A day that's the perfect combination of top tier racing action, delightful hospitality and family fun, we'd love to see you oncourse.
