In 2010, the Mount Gambier Racing Club was elevated to Provincial status, meaning more prize money for races at Allan Scott Glenburnie Racecourse.

Mount Gambier Racecourse Details

The racecourse consists of three tracks - the course proper (1850m), steeple course (1600m) and sand track - and starting chutes at the 900m, 1550m, 1800m and 2400m (Gold Cup start).

The most distinguishing part of the track is the Dog Leg at the 200 metres mark in the home straight.

Mount Gambier Racing Club hosts ten race meetings every year. This number may now increase due to the rise in provincial status.
