Ellerslie Racecourse, Horse racing stadium in Orākei, New Zealand.

The Ellerslie facility features a 1900-meter grass circuit where horses compete in clockwise direction on a recently installed StrathAyr racing surface.

The racing tradition at this location dates to 1857, when Robert Graham organized the first race meeting on his property before selling it to Auckland Racing Club.

The venue maintains its position as New Zealand's premier racing destination by hosting significant events like the SkyCity Christmas Carnival and TAB Karaka Millions.

The racecourse provides free unrestricted parking in the infield area, with dedicated accessible spaces available at the main entrance on 100 Ascot Avenue.

The facility was the location of the first automatic totalisator in 1913, designed by George Julius, revolutionizing horse race betting systems.
