This day of racing combines two heavy hitters: racing glory by the way of the Everest Carnival's biggest day of Group 1 racing, and great music, courtesy of a live performance by Furnace and the Fundamentals.
If you’re not so down with racing terminology, Group 1 races are the most prestigious races, and the day will host three of them, headlined by the $1 million TAB Epsom. There’s more than $3.8 million in prize money to be awarded, attracting some of the country’s finest racing sorts. To celebrate this, Australia’s own unbelievably fun party band Furnace and the Fundamentals will be lighting up the stage following the last race. The six-piece outfit are known for their energetic renditions of chart toppers and classic hits, but don’t expect just a covers band – they are that plus a whole lot more.
Whether you’re a racing aficionado, or just looking for a way to kick off the long weekend in style, make sure your round up your crew and book your tickets to one of Royal Randwick’s most exciting days of racing.
