Spend a midweek afternoon at Royal Randwick and enjoy a more relaxed pace of racing trackside.

Following the running of race 1, there will be an exhibition gallop by the Bjorn Baker trained Pericles (Nash Rawiller) and Perfumist (Rachel King) over 1000m.

Midweek racedays bring a quieter feel to the course, where the focus sharpens on the action and the atmosphere is easy to settle into. With fewer crowds and a gentler rhythm across the day, it’s a chance to follow the racing closely and enjoy the sport at your own pace.

There’s plenty on offer across the afternoon, with bars, cafés and casual food outlets open to keep things easy and flexible while you’re trackside. Whether you’re stepping away from the office or catching up with friends, it’s a setting that feels open, considered and unhurried.

With free General Admission entry, convenient public transport connections and complimentary on-site parking available, getting to Royal Randwick is simple. It’s a straightforward and enjoyable way to spend a Wednesday afternoon in Sydney.
