With pre-sales increasing each year the marquees reach as far as the eye can see down the straight. There is an option to suit all racegoers from 1 or 2 people up to large corporate marquees.

The Swan Hill Racecourse is in for some major changes with the venue being transformed into a Multi purpose venue. A harness track will be built alongside the current thoroughbred track to supply double the racing action from the one venue.
