Omoto Racecourse

Omoto Racecourse, New Zealand.

Omoto Racecourse staged the first meeting hosted by the Greymouth Jockey Club in March 1867.

The meeting scheduled to run over two day was so successful a third day was added.  The Club continues to race each January at Omoto Racecourse, located inland from Greymouth. The day is the first of a popular three day circuit, which carries on to Reefton and finishes at Kumara.

Visitors to Omoto Racecourse can be assured of good racing and good hospitality in a country setting.

The Omoto Racecourse is located on Omoto Road, 3 miles west of Greymouth on State Highway 6 (Greymouth to Reefton).
