Carlton Mid Darwin Cup Carnival – Carlton Mid Darwin Cup Day

On the Track

For two minutes, a crowd of 20,000 hold their breath as twelve of Australia’s top thoroughbreds chase the Northern Territory’s Holy Grail.

Off the Track

Off the track Darwin’s premier social and sporting event is a riot of racing, fashion and genuine Territory hospitality. The weekend sees the largest influx of people to the Top End as visitors and locals alike  converge on Fannie Bay racecourse.
Trackside the atmosphere will be palpable from the lawns of General Admission to the stunning heights of the Atrium, offering a racing experience like no other. Centrefield is awash with marquees, revelers choosing between the refined colonial elegance of the Legends of the Straight marquee or to party the day away in the Hot100 Marquee; others are lucky enough to secure entry into exclusive corporate marquees.
