Not the usual place on Race Day .. but we all have to get there somehow ... many Wellingtonians take the train out to Trentham ... avoids the drink drive hassles and only takes 30 minutes. The ATM "money machines" were doing a good trade .. and it is uncertain if any money will get deposited back into the bank at the day's end !!Trentham is an iconic Thoroughbred Racing venue in New Zealand. The course is located 30 minutes from Wellington, New Zealand’s Capital City, and appropriately the course is used for premier quality thoroughbred racing from October to July each year. The track itself is a perfect circumference recognized by trainers and jockeys worldwide as offering top class racing, the term ‘Champagne Turf’ was coined by past CEO John Cameron to describe the immaculate presentation of the track over the Wellington Cup Carnival every January. The Smokefree Members Stand offers Wellington Racing Club Members superb facilities on race days while the historic Public Stand is often packed to capacity for its view of the Wellington Cup and Wellington Steeplechase. One unique feature of Trentham is the ‘Figure 8’ Steeplechase Course, which offers a spectacle second to none in New Zealand Jumps Racing.
