The Coleraine Cup is an important local racing event in Victoria. It has been taking place since 1903, and the same racecourse is home to one of the oldest jumps races in the country, The Great Western Steeplechase.
Aside from being renowned as a major racing event, the Coleraine Cup attracts many attendees because it’s held in one of the country’s most beautiful areas.

Whilst you don’t necessarily have to pre-purchase a ticket, you are highly encouraged to do so! The perks of pre-purchasing your ticket guarantees entry, but it also means you can skip the queue, and in some cases – prepaid General Admission is cheaper to purchase in advance than on the day!
