Moonee Valley Racecourse
Mooney Valley Racecourse is located at McPherson Street, Moonee Ponds, Victoria.
Moonee Valley's first meeting was on 15 September 1883 at Feehan's Farm, the property of John F. Feehan. The land was purchased for the purpose of establishing a racetrack by William Samuel Cox , who was to become the first Secretary of the Moonee Valley Racing Club.
In 1922, in recognition of the founder of the club, the Moonee Valley Racing Club inaugurated, what was to become, Australasia 's weight-for-age horse-racing championship, the W.S. Cox Plate . Since 1999 the race has been included in the World Series of Racing.
Mooney Valley Racecourse has a circumference of 1,805 metres and the home straight is 173 metres long. It is the shortest straight in Australia. This alone makes it a huge advantage for front runners and on pace runners turning into the straight. It is definitely a specialist track.The Moonee Valley Racing Club has 33 day and nights meetings throughout the year.
