I was interested to see the angle taken in recent media coverage of

residents have for their neighbouring stables and racetrack.
It may interest readers to know how long horses have enjoyed the use of Ruakaka beach.

Historically Ruakaka has been synonymous with racing as this report from 1875 shows.
