With the whole country now at Alert Level One, racing will now be held throughout the country without restrictions.
Auckland moved to Alert One at midnight.
That means that all race meetings, including the one at Alexandra Park on Friday night, will go ahead with no limits on crowd numbers.
Racegoers, owners, trainers and other industry members are still encouraged to scan everywhere they go, maintain good hygiene, social distance where possible, and wear face masks if using public transport.
