TO BE SURE, TO BE SURE 🍀 Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
A little bit of our Club history to celebrate 🐴🥂

The Broken Hill St Patrick’s Race Club began in 1965 when John Toms, a well known local trainer thought of an idea to boost local racing and help alleviate the desperate financial position of the local Catholic schools.

During a game of golf with Catholic administrator, Father Pat Murray, John suggested that by using volunteer labour from within the Catholic School system, they could establish an annual race meeting. The event would include attractive prize money, trophies, food and drink and later – fashions of the field.

Excited by the prospect, they talked the idea over with other racing enthusiasts. A committee was formed to draw up plans for the inaugural race meeting to be held on Saturday 19 March 1966.

The inspirational foresight of John Toms and the Irish persuasion of Father Murray lead to the Broken Hill becoming host to the most widely publicised and richest “one day country race meeting” in Australia. There can be no doubt that neither John Toms nor Father Murray could have envisaged the great tourist potential that the St Patrick’s Race Meeting would become for the city of Broken Hill and its community.
