Featured meeting

The Club conducts three Premier Race Days:

  • December - SkyCity Hamilton Waikato Cup Day Yay
  • February - Legends Day
  • May - Premier Jumping Day
Each of these meetings has its own characteristics.

Waikato Cup Day has the largest attendance of any meeting at Te Rapa and being so close to Christmas accommodates many end-of-year business functions as well as full utilisation of the corporate facilities. It is also a heavily family oriented day for picnics on the lawn and prior bookings for spaces are essential.
Legends Day is our elite premier meeting for the racing purist with two Group 1 races (Herbie Dyke Stakes and BCD Group Sprint) and one Group 2 race - the David & Karyn Ellis Fillies Classic.
The Premier Jumping Day attracts the jumping enthusiasts along with large functions and private groups oncourse. Te Rapa is regarded as one of the premier jumping venues and hosts our two feature races each year.

Course

Te Aroha

The venue provides full training facilities (approx 80 horses in work), and is home to Racing Te Aroha which now holds approximately ten meetings each season which has increased significantly from previous years.  Two grandstands overlooking the track provide patrons with excellent viewing of the racing, with several of the lounges having been refurbished in recent years.  The Te Aroha track is considered by many as one of the finest winter racing surfaces in New Zealand, where all horses are given an opportunity to perform with one of the longest home straights in the country.
