KILMORE RACECOURSE |
|
| Approached by the Hume Highway, Kilmore
Racecourse is situated about 40 miles North of Melbourne in Victoria. |
| |
Racing has taken place in the Kilmore area since the early
1850's, although the present racecourse on East Street was first used in 1865. |
|
| By 1930 a radical decision was made when all
facilities were shifted from one side of the track to the other. They even attempted to
move the wooden grandstand until it got stuck and it took 6 months to position it
correctly. |
| |
In the late 1980's a new grandstand containing dining area,
was completed, although the wooden grandstand remained as a nostalgic reminder of times
past. |
