CLUB: Wellington R.C.

Home of New Zealand’s biggest thoroughbred race day in 2008, Trentham is an iconic Thoroughbred Racing venue in New Zealand. The course is located 30 minutes from Wellington, New Zealand’s Capital City, and appropriately the course is used for premier quality racing from October to July each season. The track itself is a perfect circumference recognised by trainers and jockeys worldwide as offering top class racing, the term ‘Champagne Turf’ was coined by a past CEO to describe the immaculate presentation of the track over the Wellington Cup Carnival every January. The Members Stand offers Wellington Racing Club Members superb facilities on race days while the historic Public Stand is often packed to capacity for its views of the Wellington Cup and Wellington Steeplechase. One unique feature of Trentham is the ‘Figure 8’ Steeplechase Course, which offers a spectacle second to none in New Zealand Jumps Racing.
