Murray Bridge Racecourse Tips & Betting Advice
Located at Gifford Hill, around 5km from the Murray River, Thomas Farms Racecourse is the home of the Murray Bridge Racing Club and one of South Australia's major regional thoroughbred venues. The modern racecourse opened in 2019, replacing the club's former Maurice Road facility.
The annual calendar is headlined by the Murray Bridge Gold Cup, with the 2026 edition scheduled for Saturday, October 3. The $150,000 Listed feature is run over 1600m and is the centrepiece of the club's spring racing program.
Another major meeting arrives on Saturday, March 6, 2027, when Murray Bridge hosts Magic Millions SA Raceday, giving the venue two significant feature meetings during the 2026/27 season. The club itself identifies the Gold Cup in October and Magic Millions SA Raceday in March among its key annual events.
Murray Bridge also maintains an extensive schedule of midweek and weekend racing throughout the year, with twilight meetings included during the summer months.
