Featured meeting
The Club conducts three Premier Race Days:
- December - SkyCity Hamilton Waikato Cup Day Yay
- February - Legends Day
- May - Premier Jumping Day
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.
