Australian Horse Racing Calendar
Our Australian Horse Racing Calendar doesn't miss a beat and has all the upcoming action out of Australia.
What racing does the calendar cover? We cover every Group 1, 2 and 3 race from Australia, including big races such as the Melbourne Cup, The Everest and Cox Plate.
It helps to know when the races are being run, so our racing calendar has the race name, date, prize money and all the information you need to know.
Punters can simply click on the race and be taken to the specifically designed page for that Group 1 race.
Racing in Australia is the best in the world and we didn't need to include "arguably" in that statement. With Group 1 racing running every month from August through to July, there's no let up and punters absolutely love it.
Because racing in Australia is so popular, stake money is able to be increased annually, which makes for a better spectable. It's incredible to see races such as The Everest ($14 million) and the All-Star Mile ($5 million) enter the Australian racing calendar and have immediate success.
Our Australian racing calendar includes all the time-honoured races as well as the newly-minted Group 1's. The Golden Eagle has been added and it could become one of the highlight races of the season.
Australian horse racing is at its strongest in history. With huge prize money, quality horses, international fields and great odds, there's no reason not to enjoy the upcoming Australian horse racing calendar.
Where can I bet on the races in the calendar?
It's good to have all the races listed in a calendar but knowing where to bet is also important.
Punters can check out our recommended bookmakers which specialise in horse racing betting.
All races listed above have betting markets available throughout the year and some of the bigger races are open 365 days a year.
What races are featured on the horse racing calendar?
We cover all Australian group races. If you're looking for a race that isn't listed as a Group 1, 2 or 3, then we might have tips covered for that race, but it won't be on the calendar.
We endeavour to cover all the popular races in Australia but the big races are the most popular.
