Ballarat is Victoria’s largest inland city. It is famous for being the site of the world’s largest deposit of alluvial gold, and almost a third of all gold found in the colony was taken from its rich quartz reefs. The legacy of this boom period is still evident in the majestic architecture and wide tree-lined streets of the town today.

 

With Ballarat just a short driving distance from Melbourne, it makes it easy for harness lovers to experience the charm of Bray Raceway, Ballarat.

 

Bray Raceway, Ballarat is widely recognized as a premier country venue in Victoria due to its outstanding 1000-metre racetrack and excellent on-course facilities. 

 

The main event on the racing calendar at Bray Raceway is the PETstock Ballarat Pacing Cup. This Group 1, Grand Circuit Event, has in the past attracted champions such as three time Inter Dominion winner Our Sir Vancelot, the iron horse Gammalite and the unforgettable Popular Alm.
