A dazzling array of gourmet food stalls, plentiful totes for placing bets, elegant wine and champagne bars, and a specially constructed deck for an uninterrupted view of the winning horse romping home will be available.
Later, as the sun dips behind the mountain and the last race is run, some of the country’s best musicians and DJs will take to the stage to entertain the crowds till late.
