Sydney Carnival: A Six Week Horse Racing Spectacular

The event information appeared in http://comms.dnsw.com.au.

Sydney Carnival is a major event on Destination NSW’s ‘Sydney & NSW Events Calendar’ and is expected to attract tens of thousands of racegoers from NSW, interstate and abroad over six weekends.
“The BMW Sydney Carnival features a line-up of feature races equal to anywhere in the world – there are 49 Group and Listed races and more than $20 million on offer in prize money.
“This outstanding Autumn racing carnival will run over six consecutive Saturdays – from March 23 to April 27 – featuring three weeks of racing, entertainment and fashion at Rosehill Gardens followed by three more weeks at Royal Randwick.

“Major events are a key plank of our strategy to rebuild and grow the NSW economy – the Sydney Carnival is part of a blockbuster year for major sporting events in Sydney which includes two State of Origin matches, the British & Irish Lions tour and Manchester United’s only match in Australia.”
The Sydney Carnival has something to excite everyone.
“The six Saturday race days will kick off at Rosehill Gardens on March 23 with Ladies Day, followed by Rosehill Guineas Day on Easter Saturday, and concluding on April 6 with Golden Slipper Day, the world’s richest race for two-year-old thoroughbreds offering prize money of $3.5 million,”
“The second half of the carnival will then move to Royal Randwick on April 13 with Australian Derby Day, followed by Doncaster Day on April 20, and concluding with Sydney Cup Day on April 27 including its signature race over 3,200 metres.
