race days

Competition schedule dates

Race days are days when horse races or other racing events are held at a track.

The term often implies the social occasion as much as the sport itself—dressing up, placing bets, drinking with friends: She bought a new hat for the race days at Ascot.

In Australia especially, race days are prominent social calendar events.
