Description
Queanbeyan is a town of 25,000. It has a proud history beginning its life in the early 1800s as pastoral settlement.
Match races between horses in the district were held from the 1850's. The first documentation of an official race meeting at Queanbeyan was recorded in The Golden Age in 1860.
The local countryside is very undulating and it proved difficult to find a site for a racecourse. However, in 1885, land was reserved to the north of the town by the New South Wales (NSW) State government and set aside for the sport of thoroughbred racing.
