🏇 EVER WONDERED HOW A HORSE RACE NIGHT WORKS?

Our Race Night on Saturday 29 August at the Muriwai Golf Links Club is going to be an absolute blast — but if you've never been to one before, here's what to expect :

Our professional MC calls 8 live horse races on the night, with 6 horses on a BIG wooden board. Two dice decide the action — one roll picks which horse moves and the second decides how many spaces. Our Venturers move them along the board. Simple, suspenseful and SO much fun! 🎲🎲

You can bet on each race from just $1 up to whatever you like, with payouts for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and a mix of other combinations too! 🏇💰

In between the races we'll be running our incredible auctions and drawing raffle prizes, and halfway through the night we stop for fabulous food! Pulled pork sliders, nachos & more! 🍽️
The bar is open all evening so drinks are available to purchase on the night — please note it is not BYO! 🍷🍺

Trust us, once that first race gets underway the whole room gets involved — it's impossible not to get swept up in the excitement!

🎟️ Tickets are just $20 each or a table of 8 for $140
