The Australian Turf Club will partner with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment this De Bortoli Wines Golden Rose Day, 15 September at Rosehill Gardens to promote the upcoming release of Titanic on Blu-Ray and 3D on September 12.
With the lead character of the movie and the feature race of the day named ‘Rose’, the ATC has extended this theme to include free entry to patrons living in one of the nine Sydney suburbs also containing the name ‘rose’.
On course, the day will continue the Titanic theme with a string quartet greeting patrons upon entry and racegoers will have the chance to create their best Jack and Rose impersonation on the bow of the Titanic with the ‘Titanking’ photo wall at the Railway entrance.
The ATC “spotted cam” will scour the crowd for six winners throughout the day with each winner captured on Rosehill Gardens big screen to take home an Olympus PEN mini digital camera and Titanic Blu-Ray.
Racegoers will also be treated to a guest performance from Emma Louise Birdsall from hit TV show, The Voice. Birdsall, a popular contestant from Team Seal, will perform a special rendition of the movie’s theme song, My Heart Will Go On, and also perform the National Anthem.
The first feature day of the 2012 Sydney Spring Carnival features an eight-race program headlined by the signature event, the $1 million Group 1 De Bortoli Wines Golden Rose for the best three-year-old thoroughbreds in the country.
Gates open at 11.00am, with the first race scheduled for 12.40pm.
Tickets and hospitality for the day are now on sale. For all you need to know to plan your day, visit www.theraces.com.au.
