Kalgoorlie Boulder Racing Club & Museum

Kalgoorlie Boulder Racing Club plays host to the famous "Race Round" every year in September, one of the richest and well known provincial thoroughbred carnivals in the country with terrific stakemoney and bonuses over four marvellous days on offer. It is also arguably the best country racing club in Western Australia. Kalgoorlie Boulder's famous "Racing Round" gets it's name from the fact that the "Big Three": Kalgoorlie, Boulder and Coolgardie would each conduct carnivals at their respective tracks. The order of the meetings would be alternated in order to give each club the best of the weather and attendances.



The Kalgoorlie Boulder Racing Club has, after a number of years, found a home for the many items of historical value previously housed in the old Trainers' rooms. Originally in 1993 following Signpost's historic Triple Crown win, owners David Reed, Keith Biggs, Dick Austin and John Sarre donated $10,000 towards the creation of a racing museum. The western end of the 'Old Tote' building has now been restored and renovated to create a wonderful, secure area for the display of these unique historical items. A marvellously restored turn of the century hansom cab forms the centrepiece of the display.



The Signpost Goldfields Racing Museum, is located at the Kalgoorlie Boulder Racing Club on Meldrum Avenue, Kalgoorlie and is open Monday to Friday: 9:00am - 3:30pm. Entry is by Gold coin donation.
