MOUNT WYCHEPROOF RACECOURSE |
|
| Racing has taken place at Mount Wycheproof
since 1881 and by 1899 large crowds were arriving from the surrounding district. |
| |
The course is quite sharp and requires a strong jockey
with knowledge of the course. The racecourse shares the ground with the local Golf Course. |
|
| The courses claim to fame is that the famous
Australian jockey Bill Pyers rode his first winner at the racecourse. |
| |
Another famous event took place in 1977 when jockey Paul
Mallia managed to ride the winners of 5 of the 6 races at the March meeting. |
