Spring Raceday

Add to my REAL NZ Festival trip planner Added to your REAL NZ Festival trip planner

Spring Raceday is a day of fun and action at picturesque Pukekura Raceway, a venue with superb facilities, just two minutes' drive from the centre of New Plymouth.

Since the first race meeting held in Taranaki in 1849, the sport of horse racing has attracted wide appeal in the region.
Place your bets, sit back with a glass of champagne and be part of the excitement the running of eight thoroughbred horse races engenders, perhaps even making yourself a bob or two in the process.
