NHILL RACECOURSE | ||
Approached via the Western Highway, Nhill Racecourse can be found about 50 miles North of Horsham in the State of Victoria. | ||
There is no firm evidence, but it is believed racing took
place as early as 1881, and there is a record of a meeting being held at Nhill in 1883
when the Nhill and West Wimmera Race Club held its first meeting.
|
||
It was in 1930 that the Club changed its name to its current Nhill Race Club and some time later merged with both Kaniva and Lockhart. | ||
The principal race is the Jim Butchery Nhill Cup contested
each Boxing Day.
