Alexandra Park – Friday 26 October
Tropical Nights to give away travel voucher
Alexandra Park is hosting its popular Tropical Nights on Friday 26 October, with a $1,000 travel voucher to be won.
To be held in the premier Top of the Park venue, attendees on both nights will be treated to the tastes of tropical paradise and be entered in to win the travel voucher.
“Our Tropical Night dining packages start from just $65 per person including a spectacular all-you-can-eat buffet, a night of tropical fun, and the best views in the house,” says Roxanne Visser, Sales & Events Coordinator at Alexandra Park.
She says given the relatively limited number of tables and tickets available for these two Fridays, all Tropical Night attendees have a good chance of winning the $1,000 travel voucher. The draw will take place during the 26 October evening.
“Our executive chef has designed a sumptuous tropical-inspired buffet menu which will completely transport your taste buds. Then there’s of course exciting harness racing under lights and atmosphere galore!”
To secure tickets phone (09) 631-1165, email dining@alexandrapark.co.nz or visit the website where the full Tropical Night menu, which includes several enticing desserts, is online https://www.alexandrapark.co.nz/whats-on/tropical-nights-2018/
Situated on the fifth floor, Top of the Park boasts floor to ceiling windows overlooking the track. As well as a delicious tropical buffet, all packages include free entry to Alexandra Park, free parking and free race-books. The evenings start from 5.30pm.

ATC 2019 Syndicate:
Over the last two decades, the Auckland Trotting Club has formed 17 syndicates, each comprising either 40 or 50 shares and racing between 2 and 4 horses.
To date, all 17 syndicates have proved, or are proving, very successful:
At this year’s Australasian Classic Yearling Sale or the New Zealand Premier Yearling Sale, the Auckland Trotting Club 2019 Syndicate’s yearlings were selected by the top trainers Robert Dunn, Brent Mangos and Logan Hollis / Shane Robertson:
Name: Alta Redeemer
Trainer: Robert Dunn
Name: Christianshavtime
Trainer: Logan Hollis / Shane Robertson
Name: Bet West
Trainer: Brent Mangos
When you join an ATC Syndicate, not only do you get to enjoy the thrill of owning and racing harness racehorses, but you can also be very involved in Harness Racing generally, initially at Alexandra Park and the wider Auckland/Waikato area and then quite possibly venturing further afield in New Zealand and Australia, as some previous ATC Syndicates have.
There are many advantages involved with being part of one of the Auckland Trotting Club Syndicates. These include; the comparatively low costs, the opportunity to share in the ownership of well bred horses trained by some of the best trainers in New Zealand, making new friendships with like-minded people, having total involvement in the Harness Racing industry and having the opportunity to participate in social events and possibly travel throughout the year.
Every month, syndicate members receive a detailed newsletter documenting each horse’s progress, member news, and other information. Regular updates are placed on a phone-in message service, which can be accessed at anytime from anywhere in New Zealand free of charge.
We have already had syndicate members from a wide geographical location around New Zealand, from Kaeo and Kaitaia in the North, to Dunedin and Invercargill in the South, as well as from the USA, Canada, England, Japan, Australia (Victoria, NSW, Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia) and even Iceland.
Each year of establishing a new Syndicate, the Auckland Trotting Club has implemented their hugely successful formula of buying three richly bred yearlings at the Yearling Sales, with these horses being selected by and trained by some of New Zealand’s leading trainers.
