Entry is free, so round up your friends and family and make your way to the races for an evening that brings together racing, entertainment and plenty of reasons to stay a little longer.

And, because every good gathering needs something on the grill, Bluff Meat Supply will be serving up a live braai station, adding some serious braai energy to the evening.
