Hawke's Bay Racing Incorporated is one of New Zealand’s most high profile clubs and a leader in thoroughbred racing in this country. Situated in Hastings, the fruit bowl of New Zealand, the racecourse is renowned for its park-like setting and is a short drive from the seaside city of Napier which is famous for its Art Deco attractions.
The flagship of Hawke's Bay Racing is the Spring Carnival which features three Premier Racemeetings in a five-week period during the Spring (this year August 28th to October 2nd).
With Group racing on the sublime Hastings surface, New Zealand’s best equine talent strut their stuff in front of large crowds, all keen to maximise the great weather that the Hawke’s Bay offers.
The carnival culminates with New Zealand’s premier Weight-for-age contest, where the honor board acts as a who’s who of recent champions of the turf.
Hawke’s Bay Racing provides a unique blend of heart-stopping entertainment, colour and pizzazz complimented by facilities and a level of service which will make your day one to remember.
Take a look around our website, we look forward to hosting you on course if you haven’t been to the Bay – what are you waiting for?
For a great mix of the best horses, best hospitality and activities, nothing beats racing in the Bay.
