The Compassionate Stakes is a one-of-a-kind experience where participants race in inflatable T-Rex and Unicorn costumes for a day filled with laughter and compassion.

Their fabulous Drag Queen MC will keep the energy high throughout the day, with Fashion Off the Field prizes awarded to the best-dressed guests. Plus, there’s a variety of delicious vegan food to enjoy, including Vietnamese street food from Au Lac, Future Swirl soft serve, and a veggie sausage sizzle from Little Oak.
Explore stalls from local animal groups like Greyhound Rescue and the Animal Defenders Office, and learn how everyone can all make kinder choices for animals.
Whether you’re racing or cheering from the sidelines, The Compassionate Stakes promises to be a fun and meaningful day out, perfect for the whole family! All proceeds support Little Oak Sanctuary’s rescued ex-racehorses.
