Wagga Wagga is the largest inland city across NSW and provides quality horse racing throughout the year courtesy of the Murrumbidgee Turf Club.

Since opening operation in 1849, Murrumbidgee Turf Club has been considered the major hub for racing across the Riverina region of NSW, maintaining a storied history to go along with a family friendly atmosphere for locals and tourists alike.

Roughly 25 meetings throughout the calendar year are conducted at the Murrumbidgee Turf Club, including the time-honoured Wagga Gold Cup, which has been running since 1873.

Not only is the Murrumbidgee Turf Club known for its excellent racing throughout the year, it’s also been utilized as a training facility for some of the best country trainers across NSW, with upwards of 20 operating out of Wagga.

Trainer Gary Colvin took over Colvin Racing in 1986 and has since continued to build his stable out of Wagga, with his stable flagbearer, Another One, producing a career highlight to secure victory in the $1 million Country Championships Final (1400m) in 2022.

The Murrumbidgee Turf Club, like many country racing tracks, is also an excellent facility for recreational activities, such as weddings or parties, with three venues for hire – including the Members Area, Champagne Bar and Green Ridge Room.

Wagga Racecourse addreess & how to get there

Murrumbidgee Turf Club is located at Travers St, Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 and is approximately 457km south-west of the Sydney CBD.

Being located in the Riverina region of NSW, most visitors from the city will need to venture via car. To do this, simply travel south-west along the M31. You will arrive at your destination after approximately five hours.

If you’re more inclined to travel via bus or train, head to Sydney Central Station, where regularly scheduled operations can get you to your destination in roughly the same amount of time. Be sure to plan ahead, however, with departure times varying.

If you’re a Wagga local, the best way to attend the races is via car, with ample parking located at the entrance of the racecourse. Local buses, Taxi and Uber are also available if you’d prefer to leave your car at home.


Wagga race track, dimensions and map

Wagga Racecourse is considered a wide-open triangular track, with a circumference of 2200m and a home straight of 420m.
The Wagga course proper has multiple starting positions from a chute, with the 1000m, 1400m and 1600m all joining the main course from the chute.

The Wagga racecourse also has multiple inner tracks for training purposes, along with a B course to go along with the main track.


Major horse races held at Wagga

Wagga Gold CupThe Wagga Gold Cup attracts thousands of punters and is the biggest raceday held at the Wagga track.

The Murrumbidgee Turf Club is the host of a massive two-day carnival at the beginning of May, with the Wagga Town Plate (1200m) on Day 1 providing an excellent precursor to the $200,000 Listed Wagga Wagga Gold Cup (2000m) on Day 2.

The injection of prizemoney from Racing NSW has allowed city trainers to target the Wagga Gold Cup as well, with the likes Chris Waller taking out the race five times in the last 10 years, including the 2023 edition with Wicklow.
