Thoroughbred Park, home of the Canberra Racing Club and Thoroughbred horse racing in the Capital, conducts 25 meetings a year, including the TAB Melbourne Cup Day in November and the Canberra Carnival (John McGrath Auto Group Black Opal Stakes Day & TAB Canberra Cup Day) in March.
Located just 15 minutes from the heart of the City and along the new light rail, there’s plenty of excitement on and off the track on race day.
Enjoy the famous carvery luncheon in the Black Opal Room, relax in the comfort of the Winning Post Bar, or take your position at one of the many picnic tables located trackside. Fashion on the Field competitions are held on two major race days and are one of the best competitions in the region.
Their Functions Department is more than happy to help provide you with an ultimate experience on race day, a conference package for your special event or a wedding reception in one of their flexible and versatile function spaces.
Thoroughbred Park Christmas party race days are ideal for small to large groups, and their outdoor spaces can cater for groups up to 1000.
