Trackside Premier is back. Bigger and better, it is your home for everything you want on the most important race days – both here and across the ditch.
Showcasing New Zealand and Australia’s biggest race days, the pop-up channel can be found on trackside.co.nz, Freeview Channel 12, Sky Channel 504, TVNZ+ and Duke+1
With more time between races, our on-course presenters will interview leading trainers, jockeys and owners. The team will preview the runners and riders to help find you a winner and then provide post-race insight and analysis.
Off the track, we will share the fun and fanfare, sprinkled with glitz and glamour. Making the magical days become memorable days.
Starting this Saturday, Trackside Premier will be at Te Rapa for the Gr. 1 Livamol Classic and will then cross to Victoria for the Caulfield Guineas.
The following weekend Trackside Premier will be covering The Everest from Randwick, as I Wish I Win and Joliestar fly the New Zealand flag in the world’s richest race on turf.
Trackside Premier coverage will then continue through November from Flemington for Melbourne Cup Day, in Christchurch for New Zealand Cup week and then into our leading races under summer sunshine from Trentham, Te Rapa, Ellerslie and more.
