KUROW

The Kurow Jockey Club races once a year at Kurow racecourse. It's situated on the south bank of the Waitaki River in North Otago. Like many one day venues, they rely on voluntary labour and the goodwill of the community to bring their venue up to a high level for their annual race meeting and comments from trainers and jockeys are always very praising of the facilities, which are being slowly improved.

 Kurow is located on the Omarama-Oamaru Road on the south side of the Waitaiki River. It is approximately 40 kms west of Oamaru. The drive through to Omarama takes 30 minutes.

 TRACK CONDITIONS: Thoroughbred: Turf, Harness: Turf, Greyhound: All Weather
