About Gunnedah

Gunnedah & District Race Club, on the Namoi River, hosts the Gunnedah Cup each May β€” traditionally one of the richest and most competitive country cups in NSW. The meeting anchors the autumn calendar for the northern district, with trainers from Tamworth, Scone, Moree and the Hunter Valley all targeting the big purse.

The Gunnedah circuit is a proper horse's track: roomy, fair and kind to balanced gallopers. Because the cup lands late in the season, form lines run deep β€” horses arrive off genuine autumn campaigns rather than fresh preparations, and benchmark ratings tell a clearer story than at the spring cups. It's a favourite meeting for serious country-form students.
