THIS IS IT: THE EVENT OF THE MILLENNIUM IS BACK!
Little Oak Sanctuary is proud to bring you the 2025 COMPASSIONATE STAKES DAY!
Tired of so-called 'fun' that involves cruelty to animals? Then this is the event you've been waiting for!
Grab your friends and sign up today to enter the T-REX and Unicorn races in the heart of Canberra City!
Tickets to race are just $20 per individual and include costume hire and a 100% chance of having a great time. Spectators watch for FREE!

All proceeds go to help support survivors of the horse racing industry currently residing at Little Oak Sanctuary.

What: T-Rex Novelty Races (this year with the option to race as a Unicorn!)
Plus: Amazing food - AU LAC, BAKED GOODIES AND MORE!
Where: Glebe Park (down near the Rotunda)
When: SUNDAY 2 November 10 am - 4 pm
T-Rex & Unicorn races held every 20 minutes, plus kids races included with prizes for all participants.
Why: Having fun shouldn't involve cruelty
Each year in Australia, more and more people are deciding that entertainment that relies on others having a bad time are no fun. Say Nup to the Cup! We all enjoy getting dressed up and having a good time with friends, but watching animals suffering is no-one's cup of tea.
Join hundreds of cool and compassionate people in Canberra's City for the return of this fun, feel-good event!
