The History of Holbrook Race Club

Holbrook has a rich and colorful history of racing with the first organized races being conducted at the grounds behind the Holbrook Hotel in 1882 continuing up until 1900.

In 1907, the Holbrook & District Race Club was formed and the Club joined the AJC.

Our annual race day has grown to be the social & sporting highlight on the Holbrook & surrounding community calendar. It is our aim to keep the club in a strong financial position and continue the tradition.

As well as our annual race meeting the race course is also used for a number of private functions, parties & celebrations for the community. The race course is part of the greater Holbrook Equine Centre and its facilities are also used for Campdrafts, Pony Club, Polocrosse and other horse-riding activities.

We are always striving to improve our facilities at the course. The majority of our buildings are in excess of 50 years or greater in age and have been maintained to the best of the committee's ability with limited resources.

The committee of the Holbrook & District Race Club continue to apply for grants and funding to improve our grounds and infrastructure, and we look forward to upgrading facilities wherever possible to ensure the future of Holbrook Races for generations to come.
