It's Red Poppy Appeal Raceday on Wednesday 15 April 2026.

Join us at Matamata for a raceday of reflection and giving back, as we honour the spirit of remembrance heading into the following weeks' ANZAC Day.

This special meeting brings together racing and community while enjoying a relaxed day at the races.

In support of this initiative, the Matamata Racing Club will donate a portion of bar proceeds to local RSA's, helping contribute to the important work they do within our community.

We encourage racegoers to embrace the occasion, gather with friends and family, and be part of a day that blends sport, remembrance, and community.
