25.01.2022 Unfortunately, the 2020 Derby Day will not be held due to the current climate with COVID-19 restrictions. It is extremely disappointing knowing that this year w...e will not be able to bring Derby Day to Port Augusta along with the glitz and glamour provided by our guests; with the great support from the local community; as well as raising funds for the Port Augusta Special School. We encourage you to enjoy the 2020 Derby with friends at home or at your local for a great day of entertainment ... and of course dress in style!

Trevor Morgan has been involved in the industry for 53 years; with the past 15 years at the PARC, initially as the Secretary in 2006. Trevor has a wealth of racing knowledge and contacts within the Industry of which the PA Racing Club is extremely appreciative. The club would like to thank Trevor Morgan for his dedication and service over the past 15 years and wish him all ...the best. We say a huge thanks to Annie for her services over the past 8 years, providing a great spread for our patrons and the racing participants. Annie's cakes amongst many things will be missed from the Track Cafe. We wish Annie and the team all the best! THANK YOU to the Davies Family! The Davies family have been wonderful supporters of the PARC over 50 years through both sponsorship and horse ownership.
