As is the norm, the event would feature 13 Flat Group 1 horse races and 03 Grade 1 Jumps races. With the pandemic gradually subsiding, twelve thousand spectators would witness the event live on each of the four days. The attendees include owners, hospitality, and staffs, alongside everyday racing enthusiasts.
