The Committee of Central Otago are nearly all racehorse owners and with this in mind they take great pleasure in ensuring that the stakes offered at their raceday are amongst the best in the South Island.

As a result they attract large horse numbers but for many, the attraction of Omakau races is the day out.

The Club run a very well organised team punting contest with generous prizes offered.

They also provide excellent entertainment for families, who come in their hoards to what is arguably one of the annual highlights on the New Zealand racing calendar.
