The Kelt Capital Stakes Premier Raceday is New Zealand’s richest raceday, and besides New Zealand’s richest race, the Kelt Capital $2,000,000 Stakes, features two of New Zealand racing's most high profile events, the Group II $100,000 Golan Hawke's Bay Guineas and Listed $100,000 G R Kelt Memorial.
