The Invercargill Harness Racing Club’s annual Bluff Race Day takes place on the Monday of Queens Birthday weekend, 6 June at Ascot Park Raceway in Invercargill.

The feature race of the day is the South Port NZ Ltd Bluff Cup which will be run over a distance of 2200 metres for a stake of $12,000 while the other races on the programme are supported by either Bluff businesses or businesses or groups with a connection to the port town including Awarua Synergy, Barnes Wild Bluff Oysters, Southland Farm Services, Hyde Landscaping, United Fisheries, Grinaldi Lodge, KB & Associates Accountants, the Northern Southland Trotting Club while there is also a special race for Colin Dixon who does so much of the groundwork for the event each year.

The Bluff Race Day was instigated in 2014 and has been a great success and being that it is held on a public holiday it is an ideal outing.

The first race is scheduled for 11.14am and the last of eleven is timed for 4.15pm. Admission is free.
