Towac Park Racecourse
Established in 1870, Towac Park is an icon around the Orange district. So much so that the timber grandstand, the pavilion and driveway entry are all heritage listed. Located only 3kms from the centre of Orange, our track features a classic turf surface with a 2,200-metre circumference and a long wide home straight that makes for some of the most exciting racing opportunities. Our main event is the Orange Gold Cup held in April, but we host several other popular events and race meetings throughout the year. Come and enjoy a day of country racing at its best at Racing Orange.
