The Central Otago Trotting Club (COTC) first raced in 1965. We are run by a volunteer group with great support from our local community.
COTC holds an annual harness racing event on January 2nd at the Omakau Racecourse.
The days main race is a $30,000 Group 3 race attracting some of the top pacers from around the South Island, the highlight of a great program of harness races.
The Omakau Trots cater for all ages with free children's entry and entertainment, a Fashion in the Field contest, plenty of food and beverage stalls, and of course, some "edge of your seat" racing. There is a great family atmosphere and you can bring a picnic along if you wish and enjoy a great day out.
While we can't guarantee the weather, we'll give it our best shot to provide a sunny, fun-filled, Central Otago day!
