Started with twilight racing. Ended with an unmissable skyline.
We rang in the New Year in style at Flemington — where the thrill of twilight racing collided with a night of unforgettable celebration.
We kicked off with an outstanding eight-race card highlighted by the time-honoured Listed Bagot Handicap (2800m) and Listed Kensington Stakes (1400m) and as the sun set, Flemington transformed into a vibrant playground, with live music and DJs, gourmet food trucks, and pop-up bars.
