Looking to get away from the Christmas madness on Christmas Eve?
The perfect retreat will be the Winton Harness Racing Club Christmas Eve meeting at Central Southland Raceway in Winton.
The club has a nine-race programme from 12.08pm with the last set to start at 4.20pm. Admission is free so bring a picnic blanket and rest up ahead of the following day’s festivities.
Santa is also rumoured to be passing by the course during the event with some lollies to disperse.
Stewart Thomson, “Jack Of All Trades Master Of None” will provide a bottle of wine to each race winner while Michelle Caig “Lot 182 Castle Hill” (a What The Hill/Sunmist colt at the upcoming Standardbred Sales in Christchurch) will present a bottle of wine to the Best Presented horse in each race.
