MURTOA RACECOURSE |
|
| Situated off the Wimmera Highway, Murtoa
Racecourse can be found just under 20 miles from Horsham in Victoria State. |
| |
The Murtoa region has a history steeped in racing and
records indicate that the first meeting was held on 26th February 1879. |
|
| Its principal race is the Murtoa Cup which was
first run as a Handicap when the winner was Salisbury. |
| |
Although racing ceased during the Second World War it
continued once the War was over and a major rebuild programme took place. By 1964 the
course had laid a new turf circuit. |
