In
2009 the Thoroughbred Racing Board announced that the Mount
Gambier Racing Club had been elevated to Provincial status,
giving the club access to increased levels of prize money
and funding. Currently, Mount Gambier Open races are held

to $15,000 per Open race under the club’s new Provincial
status when the prize money increases become effective on
February 1, 2010.
