Club

Beaumont R.C.

The Beaumont Racing Club race once a year at Wingatui on the outskirts of Dunedin on Otago Anniversary day in March. This is a dual code meeting with the Forbury Park Trotting Club. The typical programme is six races for thoroughbreds and six for pacers and trotters on the 2000m grass track with a 350m straight. Beaumont races are the perfect outing for the family. The club was formed in 1886 and shifted its race meeting from Beaumont in West Otago to Wingatui in 1987, a move which has led to an increase in betting turnover and prize money.
