ANZAC Rugby League and Racing night at Addington

It will be an ANZAC day with a difference at Addington.

In what is the first collaboration between the One NZ Warriors, Harness Racing New Zealand and Addington Raceway a special ANZAC League and Racing Night will be held. The collaboration was announced in March. 

A 10 race programme will get underway at 2.55 pm on Friday with the final race at 7.12pm giving league fans plenty of time to head across the road to Apollo Projects Stadium to see the One NZ Warriors take on the Newcastle Knights, with kick-off at 8pm.

Earlier in the week a very limited number of tickets for the racing-league package were made available. They were for dinner, drinks and a ticket to the game. They got snapped up in no time, with the game itself already a sell out.

Dinner or dinner and drinks packages are still available, with prices starting at $62. Go to addington.co.nz for more details.

There’ll be plenty of action happening off the track too including guest appearances by two NRLW One NZ Warriors players. They will do a meet and greet and be available for photos. There will be fun activities for the kids throughout the afternoon, including spot prizes and a chance to win a signed One NZ Warriors jersey. Just scan the QR code displayed on course to enter the draw.

Among the league and/or ANZAC themes races on the day will be Race 2, Wah-Hine ANZAC Classic for the Fillies and Mares  and Race 7, the Up The Wahs Mobile Pace (5.50pm). Included in the field is the omen bet of the night - Warrior Chief. He's currently a $4.80 second favourite behind Arthur Shelby.

Fittingly the night will round out with Race 10, The Last Post Free For All Mobile Pace (7.12pm).
