Australian Race Courses

Australia is mad about horse racing. If you don't believe us why not take a peek at the sheer number of race courses that are dotted around the country, sweeping from New South Wales to the Gold Coast and not forgetting the state of Victoria of course. Australia is not merely crazy about betting on horses when it is Melbourne Cup day. You don't have to be at Flemington to enjoy an incredible day at the races, and we have tried to provide horse racing fans with a detailed list of some of the country's better known horse racing tracks.

Australia holds many Grade One races and the state of Victoria alone would count Caulfield, Sandown, and Moonee Valley as major horse racing venues in addition to the famous Flemington course. There are 66 Grade 1 races in Australia, and a staggering 364 race courses in all. They're needed because the Aussies hold a whopping 2,745 race meetings every year.

We're not going to cover all 364 courses on this page but fair dinkum to us we'll certainly try to list the Top 20 over time. You don't have to work out a way to fly to Australia or if you're there right now to get to the horse racing on the other side if you want to place a bet - we've got that covered with our recommended places to bet on Australian horse racing. These are race books and sports books that are reputable and eager for your business. That means betting rebates and bonuses when you start wagering on the various race tracks Down Under.
