Our Sponsors
Sponsorship is critical to racing club activity and at Motukarara our club places great importance on giving financial supporters the exposure and recognition they deserve. We welcome interest from businesses or individuals in sponsorship at one or more of our six race meetings. Sponsorship can be for individual races or, for a slightly larger investment, race day naming rights.
Sponsorship gives you a great opportunity to entertain your guests, with the club providing the hospitality including catering with refreshments, winning horse photo with your group, and post race drinks in the President’s Bar.
It also gives you the opportunity to have an expanded entertainment event for your staff and/or clients in one of the several high profile corporate entertaining areas.
Other features of sponsorship include:
Race and/or race day naming rights | Race book advertising | Nationwide audience exposure through Trackside TV and TAB radio
Links to your company through our website | Opportunity for race day birdcage banner advertising
Priority car parking | Free admission and complimentary race books
