Penola Race Day is usually held on the last Thursday in May. The venue is the acclaimed and very picturesque course set among redgums with the track actually positioned around a swamp so that patrons have an uninterrupted view of the whole race, either trackside or from the historic grandstand. All facilities are available on site for both patrons & horse owners.
Other race meetings held at this spectacular venue are The Coonawarra Vignerons Cup (second Thursday each January ) and the Penola Cup (held annually on Easter Sunday ) as well as the Millicent Cup (held annually on the first Sunday in May) For more information about Coonawarra Vignerons and Coonawarra events visit www.coonawarra.org
