Auckland Racing Club has announced a $6m revamp of the Ellerslie racetrack’s stables.

Work began last week to demolish most of the existing indoor stable area and replace it with tie-up outdoor stalls for 126 horses alongside a warm-up ring, veterinary boxes and office, a function room and a trainers’ cafe.

The construction is expected to be completed in time for November’s Melbourne Cup meeting.
