Bendigo racecourse is one of Victoria’s major provincial racing venues, located 150km northwest of Melbourne.

Racing began in the famous gold mining centre of Bendigo in 1858 with the formation of the Bendigo Jockey Club. The first Bendigo Cup was run in 1868 and in 1873 Bendigo Jockey Club converted the Bendigo racecourse to left hand running.

Bendigo racecourse underwent a major reconstruction in 1998 that saw the course proper circumference extended to 1995m with a home straight of 400m....
