The Committee of Cootamundra Turf Club (CTC) needs your assistance to discover the Turf Club's history dating back to the CTC foundation year, 1876.

In and across the Cootamundra and Riverina community districts there is a wealth of treasured memories, those days gone by of many events and race meetings held at Cootamundra Racecourse.

"Next year is the 150th year since the Cootamundra Turf Club began operating, we are probably now one of the oldest in NSW still racing today. Our aim is to document those treasured memories of time gone by.

"Help us to discover our history, that is my request to the Cootamundra community", said CTC's president, Jeffrey Bristow at his recent committee meeting.

And it’s the Turf Club committee led by Graeme ’Dick’ McAllister, an elder racing statesman in the town, who with other committee members are out and about to gather the stories, press clippings, photographs, artworks and racing memorabilia of these past times in the proud history of Cootamundra horse racing.
