Horseracing in Australia
No country in the world except perhaps New Zealand can boast a bigger interest in horseracing by its citizens than Australia. Horseracing is the 4th largest industry in the country and judging by the number of racecourses here, approximately 1 per 50,000 people, or nearly 400 racecourses, one can see why. Punters, or gamblers, love the sport and we at HorseRaceGambling.com, look forward to providing a unique starting point for all Australians to find the racecourse nearest to them. Over time, more features shall be added to the site and we welcome your comments. Of course, not all racecourses are equal in Australia. Some are designated as "Metropolitan," which indicates top class racing, the equivalent to Santa Anita Park or Churchill Downs in the United States, Ascot or Epsom Downs in the UK. Others are designated as "Provincial," where horses of lesser quality usually run. And, then there are the "Country" clubs and racecourses where horses of still lesser quality usually run. The country clubs serve as the backbone to Australian racing and can be found, in many cases, in the most remote locations in the country. They may race only one day a year there and the fans, enthusiastic as ever, may only number in the hundreds on that day. The information that we provide here is FREE and we only ask that you visit the various merchants located on our site.
