There are nine races in total held throughout Crown Oaks Day to keep punters and spectators entertained, including three Listed races which are Race 4 – Cadbury Rose Stakes (1200m), Race 7 -MYER Spring Fashion Stakes (1800m) and Race 8 – Service Stream Sprint (1100m).
Racing commences at 11:10am with the Seven Two Plate and concludes at 5:10 with the La Vie En Rose Vase.
