Training Centre Facilities
The Matamata Racing Club (MRC) has long been recognised as one of New Zealand’s most significant racing and training centres.
Matamata Racing Club’s facilities include two grandstands overlooking the main racetrack and the various training tracks, with the Kaimai Ranges providing a picturesque backdrop.
On a daily basis, approximately 60 trainers and more than 700 horses use the Matamata Racecourse facilities, comprising grass, plough, sand and all-weather tracks, as well as a swimming pool, schooling fences, weighing scales and other modern aids including customised jumpout gates.
Matamata trainers invariably play a leading role in the country’s major races as well as enjoying their share of success at Australian racing carnivals.
