22.01.2022 S P E C I A L E V E N T The first of a few special events scheduled to be held at the Racecourse this year

22.01.2022 Well last night I had the privilege to see the Tom Curtain and the Katherine Outback Experience Show at the Bairnsdale Racecourse. I really dont where to start..., but I have to say it was one of the best shows I have ever attended. With the sun setting on a gorgeous day, hundreds and hundreds of people sat out and enjoyed the display of animal training. Troublesome and unwanted dogs and horses re-educated the Tom Curtain way, honestly who wouldnt want the dogs or horses we saw last night.....wow!!.....credit to Tom and the team who give these beautiful animals a chance......but the bigger picture is....all creatures can be good if they feel love and appreciation and this is where Tom excels with his beautiful caring and nurturing ways. He involved the kids and unlike some shows I have been to in the past where kids were asked to participate but few did, Tom had every kid eager to be part and wanting to participate. He is a wonderful human......he draws in everyone - kids, adults and animals. Tom dedicates his show to kindness and spreading the message that he has worked tirelessly for - to stop bullying and be kind to one another to help prevent suicide which came about for Tom with the passing of young Dollys Dream. I respect him for this as its a cause close to too many of us. So when the horses, dogs and goats where done there was still so much more to come.... Chris Matthews opened the evenings entertainment with a few songs under the rising beautiful full moon whilst Tom dismounted and made his way to the stage. Then Tom and Chris entertained an enthusiastic crowd. A wonderful night full of talent. Thank you to all the Bairnsdale Horse Centre, the sponsors and contributors for making it such a well run, family friendly and community event that also assisted our Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund for fire recovery in Gippsland. A huge shout out to the East Gippsland Shire Council and Tim Bull MP too. A wonderful night - thank you Now the show moves to Boolarra, Victoria tonight and then on to Mansfield, Victoria. Take your kids/grand kids and experience this show when it comes to your region. You will love it. See this link for details - https://www.tomcurtain.com.au/tour/ See more

20.01.2022 RACING 2020 // Covid-19 Update Racing and training is currently being conducted in Victoria under strict biosecurity protocols developed in accordance with all the current Government directives, guidelines and advice. This will continue into the foreseeable future.... Word is this years #CaulfieldCup will be held in late November due to AFL Finals now being played in late October. News on other significant race meetings including the #MelbourneCup is yet to be released, but it is hoped they will remain on their original dates.

The BRC is waiting to hear whats ahead so we can plan our next Racing calendar and in turn inform our valued members and our community of what to expect. Racing Victoria are working tirelessly to plan for this years Spring Racing - and as soon as we know youll know..!!!

11.01.2022 Bet365 Lakes Entrance Cup Day - Sunday 22nd March

11.01.2022 WOW what a hectic few weeks it has been...!! The Club has now officially closed as a Relief Centre and the clean up begins. So many grateful people stayed with us, so many volunteers, police, army and charities walked through our doors and many of them were heard to say what a beautiful racecourse.... We feel blessed to have a Racing Club like ours in beautiful #Eastgippsland and happy to have provided a tiny bit of relief for the East Gippsland Shire Council who were stretched to capacity. Trying times for everyone and its not over yet, but our community has shown such resilience and we were privileged to be able to help in some way. R A C E M E E T I N G T R A N S F E R R E D This Sundays Kids Day Out race meeting has been transferred to Stony Creek Racing Club due to the impact the bushfires have made in our area, but we look forward to our Autumn Racing in March and May... For further information regarding race meetings and upcoming events contact the club at anytime... 5152 4057 #smokeydaysahead #countryracing #eastgippslandbushfires

11.01.2022 U P D A T E O N H E L P N E E D E D Again thanks to those that have indicated that you are able to distribute hard feed for stock. Veterinary advise is that this type of feed should be introduced in a couple of weeks time so the need for this is not as crucial as hay.... The feed companies are ramping up production and the first batch will be 7-10 days away so please dont think that you have been forgotten.your assistance will be required at some stage. We will be in touch. We have also passed the contacts to another volunteer group that is trying to get native animal feed out as well as small lots to some of the communities. From this group we have been able to provide some relief to a few smaller farms in Sarsfield and Bruthen but of course things can change and look like changing over the coming days and the roads will be again closed. Thanks again and stay safe - another challenging few days ahead

10.01.2022 THE TOTE A brand new function space for the Club and a dedicated area for owners to enjoy on Race Days. We can’t wait to start using this room and invite anyone to call in and take a look for your next party or event ...
