Turf

Prior to 1850 horse racing at Kilmore was staged over rolling ground where courses were mapped between two points in a simple "out and back" design. That undulating character was retained when the track moved to it's present site in 1865 and is quite different from the flat tracks favoured by most Clubs. The Club in it's present form can be traced to 1900 and over the years has played host to all the champion jockeys, trainers and horses of their time

Harness

Records show that trotting was conducted at Kilmore as early as 1896, but the first track of three and a half furlongs was built by voluntary labour in 1958. The determination of local identities of the day saw the installation of a half-mile track and in September 1961 the Kilmore Trotting Club was formed. This was followed in 1963 with the official registration of the Kilmore Trotting Club. The first Kilmore Pacing Cup was run in 1964 and is now regarded as one of the premier country cups in Australia . Previous winners of the event include champions such as Popular Alm, Koala King and Golden Reign. A state of the art 1000 metre track was opened in the year 2000, and since then major infrastructure developments have continued to occur, such as lighting for night racing.

Kilmore Trackside

The magnificent Kilmore Trackside was officially opened in 1999. With a 300 seat Bistro offering panoramic views of the track and surrounds and open every day for lunch and dinner.
