A Golden Day At The Races

If you want to experience all the thrills of city-class racing without needing to drive to Melbourne, head to the Bendigo Jockey Club on Saturday, April 1. The Golden Mile Raceday is a standalone metropolitan race meeting held in Bendigo each year, and sees the best city-class horses come to town for a big day of racing.

The event has the ideal casual country atmosphere, largely due to racegoers being encouraged to ditch the usual formal attire and embrace a more laid-back look. Fashion-forward attendees will still be able to strut their stuff and win great prizes at Bendigo Marketplace’s Fashions on the Field.

It’s a day that attracts widespread attention, with keen punters coming from across the region and interstate in hopes of backing a winner. Whether you sit in the grandstand or trackside under an umbrella or marquee, you’ll have a great view of all the action on and off the track.

The Golden Mile Raceday is on Saturday, April 1, at the Bendigo Jockey Club, with gates opening at 11am. Tickets and packages can be purchased at country.racing.com/bendigo
