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.

Featured meeting
Beaumont’s race day has a very different atmosphere compared to those hosted at Wingatui by the Otago Racing Club. Many traditions carried out by the Club from the days when their meeting was hosted at the old Beaumont course are still continued. With arguably the longest list of supporters of any Club in the country, the Beaumont committee take great pride in awarding trophies and prizes to nearly everyone with a horse running on the day. These prizes range from a sack of locally grown organic potatoes to the very handsome Publican’s Cup, put forward by a number of hoteliers from the region on an annual basis.
