When I first arrived just before the 2nd race a DJ was playing high energy new music and it really set a great mood but as the day went on there were big breaks with no sound at all and it got a bit boring. I think there needed to be more toilets or some organised line for the portaloos. More umbrellas as if it had been sunny alot of people would have got bad sunburn and a good size screen showing the race, we had to go to the terminals to get results of the race we had placed bets on as unless we wanted to go for a hike each race as there were no tvs inside the pavilion showing the race.

From moment of arrival the vibe and atmosphere was buzzy and fun. Lots of helpful happy attendants. Big pavlion tent with plenty of room to socialise, great first up band and music. Great security and complimentary water really responsible. Felt straight away this was gonna be alright and it was. I will be back at the front of the queue.

We chose the Wellington Cup Day as the perfect venue for a Hen do and were not disappointed. We got a big table to ourselves and the betting stations and bar were easily accessible with short queues. It is a great event for people watching and admiring fashions.
My only comment is that the Pavilion seemed very much focused on the musical entertainment and not the racing, it was difficult to work out if a race had started or which horse had won. We had selected these tickets to shelter from the forecast rain and had not realised that it was the place to party. We enjoyed the dancing but would have preferred to have been more distant from the stage.
They would benefit by placing a big screen inside the marquee which gave the race updates.

Where was the fashion?

We had great seats in the BMW fashion village and the facilities were great. The lunch hamper was good however we did have a few logistical problems fitting everything on our table and actually eating it! Dragon performed well at the after party.
Let downs were the plastic wine flutes - several glasses of wine were blown or knocked over (a wet lap isn't at all comfortable). And the young ladies not understanding the dress code for such an event who were dressed up for a night out clubbing (but were a great source of amusement). Overall, I was disappointed with the fashion competition and the comperes were terrible - especially the man (in white jeans?)

The tent was great, and for someone who has been to both years i can say this year had more tote staff, better alcohol (even cocktails which was different) and a great music (well supermodel anyway).
I enjoyed it and it would have been even better if the weather had co-operated and not poured down at race 8!
Each year has gotten better and welldone to those who organised it!

Set up of the Stella tent was generally good and overall a fun day was had. Great bands playing, no queues for drinks or tote betting. Good selection of food available. Downside was, not being able to pick up tickets from Ticketmaster agents prior to race day (agents were not able to sell tickets); not enough toilets (big queues); no sound system for the actual races with only a couple of small screens available to watch the race on; and; price of drinks (e.g. $12.00 for a double gin is exhorbidant).

Not sure I would go into tent again as too many young drunk people. and I am the party one from our group. Plus couldn't see race unless you were already sitting on edge.

I like the idea of ticketing for the centre of the race course - it was great to have our own facilities and loads of space.
However, the booze queues took far too long! Would be great to have people coming around with chillers to groups to sell booze. At the very least, the bars needed extending to accomodate the numbers.
In addition, it was noted that we didn't get our free bottle of water as our ticket was supposed to include and the drink prices weren't discounted in any way.
Next year, I'd buy a ticket for the middle but I'd get my food from the main area as there were more options.
It was also strange not to be able to take your drinks between areas considering that it was possible to get drinks over the other side too...all that encouraged was 'chopping' what you had to be able to cross the track between races.

The picking up of tickets at the event was a bun fight and fortunately after a few loud complaints a gentleman grapped a bunch of tickets and just called out names of people to come and collect, phew! I was luck that my name was one of the first called otherwise I would have had to stand in the sun for another hour!!!
Something better needs to be organised in this regard.

My first trip to Wellington Cup. I have followed horses for about 40 years and now only go on course for first and last day of Hawkes Bay Spring Carnival which I feel is fantastically well organised. Some improvements I think would aid Wellington (for the punter ,not just those going for the day out) -an infield totalisator, TAB sheets for all meetings displayed along with result updates, more TV's especially showing quinella odds, and more bins for rubbish. Other than that I really enjoyed the racing although it is difficult to accept a 2400m Wellington Cup!

Wellington Cup Day is a great event. The first year that I've been to it and will definately make it an annual event. The alchohol ban was good as it would have prevented a lot of issues with drunk and disorderly people. I was staggered though at the number of young people (under 18 years) that were drunk. Trentham racecourse is a beautiful course and all in all it was a great day. Loved seeing the majority of people having dressed up for the day.
