Picnic Racing has a long history in Victoria with racing dating back to the early eighteen hundreds. The relaxed atmosphere of picnic racing is a major drawcard for patrons. Being able to drive into racecourses such as Balnarring, park under a tree and setup an esky and the barbie in bush surroundings provides an experience like no other form of racing.
Patrons are able to bring their own food and beverages onto the course and along with reasonable entry prices Picnic Racing offers great value. Raceclubs also offer full catering and bar facilities.
