It’s an exciting time for the Great Western Racing Club…..the 2025 Seppelt Great Western will be held on the Saturday of the Australia Day long weekend. This makes the perfect opportunity for race goers to kick start the long weekend at the iconic Seppelt Great Western Cup.
The Seppelt Great Western Cup is a genuine, grassroots thoroughbred race day experience and a definite must do on anyone’s racing bucket list.
We pride ourselves on delivering a unique race day, the committee, staff and volunteers are welcoming and happy to be part of an exceptional community thoroughbred racing club. We love to deliver a race day experience that meets and exceeds expectations, the welcoming nature and enthusiasm that visitors receive at Great Western from staff and committee members ensures that all visitors are made to always feel comfortable and most welcome.
At the Seppelt Great Western Cup you can enjoy the up-close racing action that you'll only get in the country while also enjoying all the wonderful race day entertainment and activities on offer. The Ararat RSL Fashions on the Field is a race day feature and this year we welcome X Genz, a Melbourne based 5-piece cover band to the main stage. X Genz will keep you entertained and get you dancing the day away after the races are run and won.
