Horse Race Australia

Australia Horse Racing

The Australian Horse Racing Blog is where we’ll be discussing all the latest racing news in Australia, as well as those Australian race horses competing overseas.

The colourful trainers and owners, flamboyant jockeys, and the wonderful thoroughbred race horses, all come together to create the Australia horse racing industry, affectionately referred to as the ’sport of kings’. Withstanding time as well as any other Australian sport, horse racing in Australia is very much part of Australian culture. And let’s be honest who doesn’t love a punt, and the thrill of backing a winner? Whilst an afternoon out at any of Australia’s Metropolitan racetracks with their big crowds, fashion, and quality horses makes for great day out; but it is still hard to go past the characters and the charm that makes Australian country racing what it is, the backbone of thoroughbred breeding and racing around Australia. Horse Race Australia has been created for those who have a passion for Australian horse racing, by providing information on the tracks and feature races in Australia, as well as the trainers and jockeys.
