Horsepower Newcastle Stakes Ft International Women's Day

Join us at Newcastle Racecourse this International Women’s Day for a powerful celebration of generosity, empowerment and community.

The 2026 theme “Give to Gain” embraces the spirit of reciprocity, the idea that when we give generously of ourselves, our communities grow stronger. Together, we can uplift women, inspire change, and create opportunities that help everyone rise.

This year’s event proudly supports Samaritans Newcastle, raising awareness and funds to help young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness across our region.

Gather with like-minded individuals for an afternoon filled with purpose and inspiration. Enjoy an elegant luncheon, engaging guest speakers, live entertainment, and the opportunity to connect with leaders, changemakers and community supporters who embody the spirit of Give to Gain.
