Be in to Win Your Dream Raceday!
Racing fans are being invited to design their perfect summer day at the races – and be in the draw to win it for themselves and three friends.
New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing | October 13, 2026

Win Your Dream Raceday, a new LOVERACING.NZ campaign from New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR), will see four winners each take three friends to one of the biggest racedays of the summer, with travel, accommodation, hospitality and money-can’t-buy experiences included.

Zac Reynolds, NZTR’s General Manager of Industry Promotion, Communications and Marketing, says the campaign gives both lifelong racing fans and newcomers to racing the chance to win an unforgettable summer raceday experience.

“Summer is a fantastic time to get together with friends and enjoy a day at the races. This prize takes that experience to another level, with travel, accommodation, hospitality and access to parts of raceday that fans rarely get to see.”

“Four winners will each get to bring three friends along to one of New Zealand’s standout racedays, with an experience they’ve chosen themselves. Whether it’s standing behind the starting gates or joining in at the Winners’ Circle, here’s the chance to make some pretty special summer memories.”

Entering takes just a few minutes at win.loveracing.nz. Fans choose their raceday, pick where they want to spend the day, and select the four experiences that would make it one to remember.

The four racedays up for grabs are:

  • Barneswood Farm NZ 1000 Guineas Day, Riccarton Park, Christchurch: Saturday 7 November 2026
  • SkyCity Hamilton Waikato Cup Day, Te Rapa, Hamilton: Saturday 12 December 2026
  • TAB Karaka Millions, Ellerslie, Auckland: Saturday 23 January 2027
  • Wellington Cup Day, Trentham, Wellington: Saturday 30 January 2027

The campaign has been developed in partnership with host racing Clubs: Canterbury Jockey Club, Waikato Thoroughbred Racing, Auckland Thoroughbred Racing and Wellington Racing Club. New Zealand's wagering provider, Entain, is also supporting the campaign with betting funds and a personalised form session with a Trackside expert.

“The Clubs have put together something really special. This is a chance to enjoy a great day out with your mates, get closer to the action and experience the races in a way you might never have before. We can’t wait to bring those dream racedays to life for our winners.”
