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.

If you haven't been to the races for a while, this is the day to attend as the course has been transformed with new viewing areas perfect for catching up with friends. 

The Shed sponsored by the Pastoral Hotel will offer punters the ideal place for all the up-to-date racing information, a cold drink, and the best seat to watch live racing with all your favourites from The Track Cafe.

The club boasts exceptional on-course televised racing, bookmakers, tote, and racing hospitality at its finest, you won’t want to miss a great day trackside.
