Adelaide Racing Carnival History


The Adelaide Autumn Racing Carnival is the yearly highlight of horse racing in South Australia. 

The carnival kicks off in March, but the Group One racing doesn't begin off until May, with the South Australian Oaks and TAB Classic sharing equal billing on the opening day of the festival.

While it does share equal billing with the Sydney and Melbourne autumn festivals, most of the major races do not overlap.
