OMOTO RACECOURSE |
|
The Omoto Racecourse can be found at Greymouth
in the West Coast region of South Island. The racecourse was first mapped out in 1867 by
Daniel Sheedy. |
|
It is administered by the Greymouth Jockey Club and they
held their first meeting at the track in March 1867. It was a two day meeting but the
crowds were so much larger than expected that they managed to extend it to a third day. |
|
The feature race is the Monteiths Brewing
Greymouth Cup which had its inaugural running in 1931 when Black Duke was successful. |
