Watch the Auckland Cup in Style

New Zealand’s premier staying race – the $500,000 Group 1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup (3200m) – is set to take place this Wednesday 6 March at Ellerslie and New Zealand Bloodstock is proud to offer an exclusive special rate on tickets.

By entering in the promo code ‘NZB’ when purchasing tickets online you can get 10% off tickets to the Auckland Racing Club’s Presidents Suite at Ellerslie.

The Presidents Suite gives racegoers panoramic views of the Ellerslie racetrack, a seven-and-a-half hour beverage package, a gourmet buffet luncheon, private access to covered grandstand seating, and much more.

The Auckland Cup was first run in 1874 making it one of New Zealand’s oldest and most prestigious races. In 2013 it will see a number of Karaka Sale graduates take to the course in search of Group 1 glory including the current favourite Sangster (Savabeel) who holds most of the punters’ pre-race attention and has been backed into $2.20 to win the feature.

Tickets to the Presidents Suite are $225 each when purchased online using the NZB promo code. Further details as well as ticket sales can be found by clicking here.
