Saturday Races At The Valley

Prepare yourself for an extraordinary day of racing and entertainment

Join us at The Valley and experience the heart-pounding action of top-class racing. Whether you're a dedicated racing enthusiast or simply looking for a fantastic day out, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Get up close to the action and witness the star horses and leading jockeys on show, with feature racing throughout the season. The Spring Racing Carnival begins with Group 1 racing when the top sprinters clash in the 1000m dash in the Charter Keck Cramer Moir Stakes. It’s a big day with four black-type races on the card and the So You Think Stakes.

Celebrate the festive season on track, with a big day of racing on Saturday, 28 December, while the 2024/25 season concludes with the running of the 3 Point Motors Group 1 William Reid Stakes.

Saturdays at The Valley are a great day out for families. Kids are in for a treat with a range of exciting activities and attractions, including the chance to meet our adorable Junior Jocks mascot Crossword.

Make it an occasion to remember and book a spot in a Dining Box by Dean & McPherson and enjoy the finest produce and beverages while taking in sweeping views of the track from the best seat in the house. There’s also a terrific range of tasty takeaway foods to choose from, and a variety of bars.

You don’t want to miss Saturday racing at The Valley, with the top horses and jockeys on show. Pre-purchase your tickets to save, with entry for children under 17 free when accompanied by a guardian.
