The Gawler & Barossa Jockey Club hosts 18 Race Meetings annually and is also home to more than a dozen Racehorse Trainers with racehorse training facilities open 7 days a week.
The track has an inside grass, and two sand tracks for different pace work, as well as a swimming pool and treadmill available for alternate training.
There is also several Racehorse Trainers with on-course barns where horses are stabled while in their training preparation.
Start your morning immersed in the rhythm of the racing world with an exclusive behind-the-scenes visit to Gawler Racecourse.

You'll also meet the dedicated people behind the scenes—stable staff, handlers, and industry experts—who will share insights into the care, planning, and daily operations of a thriving racing stable.
