Thoroughbreds race meeting, incorporating the Elders Webster Longford Cup.

Longford comes alive with the colour and excitement of the Tasmanian Summer Racing Carnival, world class thoroughbred horse racing, fashions, glamour and entertainment.

The Longford Races are a true country meeting in Longford - the home of many horse studs and training facilities.

Held on New Year's Day, the party atmosphere at this meeting always results in a strong turnout, with well over 5,000 patrons at previous race meetings.

Located only 20 minutes from the city of Launceston, this meeting is a firm favourite with the racing community and holidaymakers.

Entertainment and activities include:

- Oncourse live music throughout the day

- Sue's of Invermay - Fashions on the Field

- Free children's entertainment including pony rides and face paintings

- Oncourse bar facilities

- Bistro meals available or snacks from various oncourse food vans

Ttickets are available for pre-purchase from the Tasmanian Turf Club or the Country Club Hotel at Longford.
