As we conclude the 2026 Racing Season, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all participants across the Racing Industry for your commitment, dedication, and unwavering support of the Port Augusta Racing Club.

It takes a great team and an enormous amount of effort to show up and be part of racing — the travel, training, skill, time, and significant overhead costs are just some of the many commitments involved.

We recognise and appreciate the dedication that goes into every race day, and we are eternally grateful for your continued support of the Port Augusta Racing Club.

Thank you for being part of our racing community. 🏇
