Wangaratta Turf Club

The Wangaratta Turf Club is much more than a place to watch the races. It's a working training centre that plays an important role in country racing.

With around 200 horses working here each morning, the track is used by everyone from Pony Club riders taking their first steps in the saddle through to licensed trainers and jockeys preparing horses for race meetings across Victoria.

For many local stables, this is where the work happens. Early starts on the training track, horses being worked to schedule, and countless hours of preparation that often go unseen once race day arrives.

Strong country racing relies on quality training facilities, and the Wangaratta Turf Club is proud to provide a base where horses, horsemen and horsewomen can train, develop and compete at every stage of their journey.

Another great day for Wangaratta trainers Racing Wodonga winning 3 races, A double to Ben Brisbourne and a winner for Tim Grace congratulations guys and girls

We were thrilled to host the Project 365 Wangaratta 'U Can Cry' Gala, it's something we loved being part of. It truly was an evening that brought our community together in support of an incredibly important cause.

Events like these are a reminder that every function is different. Whether it's a charity gala, awards night, corporate dinner, wedding or family celebration, no two occasions should feel the same.

At the Wangaratta Turf Club, we work closely with every client to create an event that reflects their vision. From room layouts and styling to tailored food and beverage packages, we personalise every detail to suit your guests, your goals and your occasion.

We are so proud to deliver a memorable evening for a cause that means so much to our community.
