Home to Racing Taupo, the Taupo track is renowned for its ability to provide a consistent galloping surface Accordingly, Taupo attracts many high-profile and well-bred horses which commence their campaigns at the Spring Marquee Meetings in August, September and October. There is no undercover grandstand at the course, but a natural bank running the length of the back straight and two grand stands provide excellent viewing. Marquees are erected at all meetings to provide shelter from the sun or adverse weather conditions. A designated Members/Sponsors Marquee has catered food and refreshments while Mobile Food Vendors offer nourishment to the general public attendees.
