Coffs Harbour Racing Club
Coffs Harbour NSW Australia
In 1946 the Coffs Harbour Jockey Club was formed on land allocated previously by the Crown for the purpose of a Race Course. The Club went through good and bad times and closed for a brief period before being reopened again in 1963 by Ted Russell. The Coffs Harbour Racing Club began to grow and at one stage offered the highest purse by a Country Racing Club (outside of Townsville) for its feature race; $10,000.
