OUR STORY
Stakes Day festivities began many years ago with humble beginnings. One VRC membership, courtesy of Jarrod Nash, a handful of mates, a single car park in The Nursery, a few camp chairs, and an esky full of Hard Solos.
Between laughs and drinks, James, Cam, and Sav began dreaming of something greater — a celebration marked by grandeur and enhanced style. What started as a casual day at the races soon evolved; camp chairs became tables and umbrellas, one site became two, two became three…
Now, in 2025, we proudly host a full-scale production across four Nursery Sites. This year’s edition features a sold-out marquee for 100 guests, complete with bartenders, wait staff, and an exceptional spread of food and drinks.
What was once a modest day at the races has become an iconic piece of TAB Stakes Day history — fondly known as ‘The Nursery by Jim and Alex’. We’re certain this will be our best year yet and can’t wait for you to be part of our story.
