THE Seymour Racing Club (SRC) has released its 2026/27 race dates, headlined by the introduction of twilight racing across three meetings for the first time in the club’s history.
The new season marks a significant evolution in the club’s offering, with twilight meetings scheduled across November, December and January, delivering a fresh race-day experience for members, participants and racegoers during the summer months.
SRC Chief Executive Chris Martin said the addition of twilight racing represents an exciting step forward for the club.
“Introducing twilight racing across three meetings is a major milestone for Seymour,” he said.
“It provides a different style of race day experience, particularly across the warmer months, and allows us to further engage with our community and racing fans in a more relaxed, social setting.”
The 2026/27 calendar also features a strong line-up of marquee events, continuing to anchor the club’s season.
The bet365 Seymour Cup remains the club’s flagship race day, while the Godolphin Puckapunyal Cup continues to grow as a unique and significant fixture celebrating the region’s strong community and military connections.
Key community race days also return, including the ever-popular Christmas Party Race Day, which will now be run under twilight conditions, and the Kids Day Out, delivering a family-friendly experience during the festive period.
“These feature race days remain the cornerstone of our season,” Mr Martin said.
“We’re proud of the balance we’ve built between high-quality racing and community-focused events, and the addition of twilight meetings only strengthens that offering.”
Mr Martin said the club’s continued investment in infrastructure and race-day experience has positioned Seymour strongly for the future.
“With the introduction of twilight racing and a strong calendar of feature meetings, we’re confident the 2026/27 season will be one of our best yet,” he said.
The twilight meetings will be held on November 12, December 17 and January 14.
