The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club (Addington), t/a Addington Raceway and Event Centre, is committed to providing a safe facility for guests by ensuring that Health and Safety legislation is complied with at all times. Our staff work hard to reduce the risk of accident or injury but are unable to eliminate all the risks involved when participating in racing activities associated with horses.
The Stables and the adjoining Float Park (The Stables) are a workplace and contain horses, vehicles and equipment which could cause injury if not handled correctly. As a result, access to The Stables at Addington Raceway is restricted.
