You might recognise these familiar faces as the first smiles to welcome you on race day. We know them as Michelle and Sue, our wonderful Raceday Office team.

🐕 Attention All Dog Walkers 🐕

We love seeing our community enjoying the grounds at Wingatui, and we're proud to be able to allow dog walking on the property.

However, Wingatui is a private property and a working horse training facility. Recently, a dog accessed the track before 12.00pm and was not on a lead while horses were still training.

To help us keep dog walking available, please remember:

🐎 No access to the track before 12.00pm.
🐕 Dogs must be on a lead at all times.
💩 Please pick up after your dog.
❄️ During hard frosts or when horses are working later than usual, the track may not be available after 12.00pm. If you're unsure, please check with the office before heading out.

We're happy to share our grounds with the community, but we ask that everyone respects the rules so we can keep this privilege available for everyone.

Thank you to the many responsible dog owners who help make this possible. ❤️
