Bendigo Jockey Club
The Bendigo Jockey Club was formed in April 1854, and within four years held its first Cup meeting. It was then known as the Sandhurst Cup and won by “Old England.”
The first Cup at Bendigo was staged three years before the first running of the Melbourne Cup in 1861.
The Bendigo course today reflects success and provides all the facilities that a punter requires. Its landscaping and spacious lawns provide comfortable surroundings and well-paved walkways, modern horse stalls and the large parade ring provides ample opportunity for punters to study their favourites before race time. The betting ring is fully covered to provide race goers the best possible facilities in any weather.
The Bendigo Jockey Club is dedicated to offering the best country racing experience in Victoria.
