About the Scone Race Club

Scone Race Club was formed in 1944.

The current racecourse, constructed in 1994 is only 2 minutes from Scone Airport.  The racing surface is known to be the best country circuit in New South Wales

It attracts the leading city and provincial trainers such as Peter Snowden, Gai Waterhouse, John Hawkes, Clarry Connors, Ron Quinton, Bart Cummings, Paul Perry, Kris Lees, Chris Waller, Tim Martin, etc.

On cup day leading riders the calibre of Darren Beadman, Chris Munce, Corey Brown, Larry Cassidy, Hugh Bowman, Danny Beasley and others support the meeting.

The Scone Cup was first run in 1947 and became listed in 2000. The Dark Jewel Classic was first run in 1996 and due to the superior quality of the fields, became listed in 1999.

We are fortunate to be able to offer the highest prizemoney in Australia for a country race for 2 year olds due to the support of Inglis. The Inglis Challenge was first run in 2000.
