Beaumont R.C.
Beaumont Racing Club races once a year in March. Originally racing at Beaumont, the Club moved its meeting to Wingatui racecourse (Dunedin) in 1987, a move which has led to a significant increase in turnover and prizemoney. Despite racing away from home the Club is still very proud of its rural roots and much of its Committee, members and sponsors still hail from the Beaumont district and surrounds. Naturally with the country feel, Beaumont races is the perfect outing for the family and kid’s activities are always part of the fabric of the afternoon.

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.
