Next Raceday
VRC New Year’s Day Race Day Saturday 1 January 2022
The first race day of the new year features the Listed Bagot Handicap for stayers and the Listed Chester Manifold Stakes. The Bagot Handicap attracts the best off-season stayers as they showcase their potential for bigger targets at Flemington. Last year’s winner Tralee Rose went on to win the Group 3 Geelong Cup later that year and finish ninth in the Lexus Melbourne Cup. The Chester Manifold Stakes is named in honour of former VRC Chairman Sir Chester Manifold and is run over 1400m. Off the track, get set for some serious summer vibes and kick off 2022 with a New Year’s Day Recovery Party with friends in the casual laidback setting that is the Flemington Front Lawn. With your choice of bean bag, deck chair or day bed you can sit back, relax and enjoy a great day’s racing plus live music after the last. Cheer on pounding hooves as they thunder down the home straight to the Winning Post, grab a bite to eat from a selection of Melbourne’s tastiest food trucks and enjoy an icy cold drink to celebrate the New Year.
Looking for somewhere to bring the kids? Enjoy the family friendly fun on the Flemington Family Lawn, in The Elms. Away from the hustle and bustle, you can relax in comfort, enjoy the racing and watch the kids enjoying all that the family lawn has to offer.
Take your next corporate or private event to new heights in our Skyline Restaurant. An exclusive space located on level 3 of the Hill Stand, Skyline will place your group in an unbeatable position overlooking the Winning Post. As you take in the track and racing action in front of you, you’ll also be treated to a delicious and refreshing lunch-and- beverage package, along with table seating and waiter service. Perfect for large groups of 200 to 400 guests, just wait until you see what Skyline has to show you!
