We'll collect you from your hotel at 5:30am and take you to Morphettville Racecourse where you'll be greeted with a refreshment and you'll meet the trainers, the jockeys, the strappers and the stars of the industry - some of Australia's greatest thoroughbreds.
You'll enjoy a jockey's breakfast of fresh coffee with bacon & egg sandwiches, in the canteen where you'll share stories with a few of Adelaide's racing identities and maybe pick up a few hot tips.
After breakfast we'll take you on a walking tour of the stables, the swimming pool and the sand rolls. You'll see the farriers at work and visit the veterinary clinic.
Then we'll take you on a tour of the racecourse facilities, where you'll meet the stewards, the judges, the handicapper and the many other people who work beyond the barriers
