Penola Racecourse Tips & Betting Advice
Racing tradition runs particularly deep at Penola, with the town credited with staging South Australia's first official race meeting over three days in February 1856. The Penola Racing Club moved to its current Racecourse Road home in 1906, giving the venue a history stretching back well over a century.
The Penola Cup provides the focal point of the modern racing calendar, with the 2027 edition scheduled for Sunday, March 28. The Cup meeting sits alongside a handful of fixtures spread across spring, summer and autumn during the 2026/27 season.
Penola is also closely connected to racing across the wider Limestone Coast, and the racecourse is notable for retaining much of its traditional country character despite improvements to its facilities over the years.
