Calcutta for the Wellington Boot is “the social betting event of the Spring Racing Carnival”
The Calcutta is a much-loved tradition of the Wellington Boot Carnival and a highlight of the Wellington Race Club’s annual celebrations. This popular social event brings the community together on the eve of the big race.
During the Calcutta, the horses entered in the main race are auctioned. Guests can bid on their favourite runner, and if the horse they “purchase” goes on to win the race the following day, they take home a share of the prize pool.
The Calcutta adds an extra layer of excitement, friendly competition, and community spirit to the Wellington Boot Carnival, making it a tradition locals look forward to each year.
