TAB Counties Cup Day returns

Pukekohe Park will be the place to be on Saturday, November 22, as TAB Counties Cup Day returns.

This is the area’s premier race day, headlined by the prestigious TAB Counties Cup and Haunui Farm Counties Bowl.

With free general admission, free on-site parking, and a full line-up of free children’s entertainment, it’s a true community celebration – offering something for racegoers, families, and fashion enthusiasts alike.

This year’s event also forms part of the all-new National Thoroughbred Week, a nationwide celebration of the thoroughbred horse. Visitors can enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of the racecourse (free, but registration is required as spaces are limited), meet retired champions Mufasa and The Bostonian, have a go on a racehorse simulator to experience the thrill of being in the saddle and step inside the NZ Horse Ambulance Trust’s impressive mobile ambulance.

The Caci Pukekohe Style Stakes will showcase the best of local fashion, with prizes from Caci Pukekohe, Appetite, and Belinda Green Millinery, plus a qualifying spot is up for grabs in The Ned Prix de Fashion national final at Ellerslie in March 2026.

Party and music lovers are catered for too, with The Lane – in association with The Grand Tour -serving up a full day of DJ sets from Ben Parkes, Hamish Crocker and Sean Hill between races.

Whether you come for the racing, the style, or simply to soak up the atmosphere, TAB Counties Cup Day at Pukekohe Park promises an unforgettable day of entertainment and community spirit.
