Port Augusta’s central location sees it as the heart of thoroughbred racing in the Spencer Gulf, and its facilities make it a premier site for racing. With the majestic Flinders Ranges as the backdrop to the Port Augusta racecourse, it has become famous for its breathtaking view.

As the only sand-based country TAB track in South Australia, Port Augusta thoroughbred racing offers patrons a unique and exciting race day experience.

The Port Augusta Race Club is located only 5 minutes from the CBD and 30 minutes from the popular Flinders Ranges.

All seven races are televised on Racing.com and Sky Racing to viewing audiences in virtually every town and city across Australia with the beautiful Flinders Ranges as the backdrop. There is no other race meeting in the state that can offer coverage of such a brilliant attraction.

It’s a great day for all at The Port Augusta Races.
