Saluting our Stars !
In support of what will be a most exciting thoroughbred racing season, the Wellington Racing Club and RACE Incorporated pay tribute to some of these great gallopers with "Salute to the Stars" raceday at Trentham.

Great horses deserve to be championed and we were delighted and thrilled to have 9 races at Trentham named in honour of horses that have thrilled race-goers not just at Trentham but throughout New Zealand over the past 12 months.

Be a Member for the day 
Members Stand tickets can be purchased for $15 each. Tickets can be brought on the day from the Raceday office or purchased prior to raceday by ringing 0800 TRENTHAM.Book tickets for Wellington Racing Club at Trentham Hospitality Options admission members stand
