Colac Turf Club

At the Country Races, you can expect world-class racing, lightning-fast action and inspiring Fashions on the Field. But there’s much more to Country Racing Victoria than just the races. We believe in investing in the spirit, the history and the people of Victoria.

There are 66 Country Racing clubs all over Victoria. Together they run 450 races and contribute more than $750 million to the Victorian economy each year. Each and every club offers its own landscape, history, local attractions and fantastic food. You’ll also find different racing styles from true bush meetings, to a full blown celebration of a regional city.

When you spend a weekend with Country Racing Victoria, you’re providing a vital contribution to the local economy which sustains 8,300 full-time jobs in regional Victoria. Our industry brings in almost half of the $1.5 billion per year generated by the Victorian Thoroughbred Racing industry.

No matter what meeting you go to, you’ll sense something different, in the clean air, the closeness of the action and in the ready smiles. You’ll sense that this is how racing began that this is how it was meant to be.

So breathe easier, get closer and step it up for a day that’s got it all.
