Taupo Racecourse

Home to Racing Taupo, the Taupo track is renowned for its ability to provide a consistent galloping surface leading up to major spring racing and, accordingly, attracts many high-profile and well-bred horses which commence their campaigns at the Stud Day and Spring Marquee Meeting. There are no permanent grandstands at the course but a natural bank running the length of the track provides excellent viewing. Marquees are erected at all meetings to provide shelter from sun or adverse weather conditions.

Track Details: A left handed 1475m track with a 250m stright. A turning track where from most starts it is important to draw well. Being on pumice country it has good drainage and does not get too heavy.
