|---|---|---|
| Race 1 | PUB CHARITY STAKES - C1 - 457 | Campese Bale was positioned handy to the lead then began to drift - ending back at the rear of the field, but recovering late ground to finish fourth. Parra Power went wide from the jump and remained wide and towards the rear throughout. |
| Race 2 | CAMBRIDGE DISTANCE - C1/2d - 747 | Calm Abiding lead through the first bend and although headed briefly by Hostile Deed had to succumb to a strong late run from Hostile Gesture, that dog taking the close decision right on the line.

| Race 5 | CAMBRIDGE HURDLES - C1/2h - 457 | Lucy Loose was slow and then fell at the first hurdle after recovering the body of the field. Destroyer Dottie turned in a sound jumping display and made late ground for the win. Lucy Loose was found to have fractured a leg and was euthanised post race by the veterinary surgeon. . |
| Race 6 | TRILLIAN TRUST SPRINT - C2 - 375 | Waitak Attack was the early leader until the favourite Tap To It took control and ran away from the field to the line. Homebush Jet was slow to start. Tap To It, when crossing wide after the jump, impeded the path of both Miss Jade and Blue County. Blue County, following a post race veterinary examination, was found to have been injured and was subject to a stand down. No 8 Blue County (G Frost). Rule 329, injured during running - split webbing. Stand down 10 days to 14.02.04. VC held. |
| Race 7 | NZ COMMUNITY TRUST STAKES - C3/4 - 457 | Seven starters.

No 2 Winsome Larakin (K Walsh). Rule 259. Stand down 30 days to 04.03.04. No 9 Dot Matrix (S Ross). Rule 259 - tracheobronchitis. Stand down 10 days to 13.02.04. Dog presented. VC held.

| Race 9 | TE RAPA TAVERN SPRINT - C4 - 375 | Thelma Bale streaked away for the win - setting a course record in the process. Sugar Sweet was galloped on by Yeap when the field bunched into the turn - Yeap fell and together with Sugar Sweet was out of contention from that point. A veterinary examination cleared Yeap of injury post race. |
| Race 10 | CLUB HOUSE CAFE & SPORTS BAR STAKES - C5 - 457 | Speed Twin blitzed away from the start and set up a sufficent margin to hold off the favourite, Winsome Shot, when that dog made a strong late challenge. |
