About
The Jerilderie Race Club first race meeting was in 1861 where first prize for the very first race was a saddle and bridle valued at 6 pounds. There was a eight race program. Races continued throughout the 1870’s and the early 1880’s with local publicans being the main sponsors and the Success of those race days were gauged more on the amount of takings at the beer booths rather than the quality of racing. In 1884 the Jerilderie Race Club held its first race meeting under the auspices of the Australian Jockey Club (AJC) over two days being 5th and 7th August. These dates were selected around the Annual Show.Last print ad
