Jumps, Blues & Brews

Next date: Sunday, 19 July 2026 | 11:30 AM to 05:00 PM

Get ready for a full day of country racing energy at the Coleraine Racing Club's Jumps, Blues & Brews. The course comes alive with the colour and pace of winter jumps racing, the air carries the sound of live blues, and local brewers and food vendors keep the good times rolling from the first race to the last.

At the heart of the program is the Great Western Steeplechase, Australia's oldest steeplechase and a proud Coleraine tradition. Watching the field sweep past the rails and fly the fences on this historic track is a thrill that holds your attention from barrier to winning post. Between races, settle in with a boutique brew, sample hearty winter fare from local producers and soak up sets from blues artists who bring warmth and swagger to the mid-season chill.

Jumps, Blues & Brews blends time-honoured racing heritage with a relaxed, modern festival feel. Expect spacious lawn and trackside viewing, easygoing social areas for groups, families and race fans, plus plenty of on-the-day entertainment to keep the atmosphere lively. Whether you're following the form guide or just here for the music and food, it's the kind of day that invites you to stay a little longer, cheer a little louder and be part of a Coleraine race day story that's been building for generations.

Dress for winter, gather your mates or bring the family and make a day of it at one of regional Victoria's most characterful country race tracks. The Great Western Steeplechase is the headline, but the memory you take home is the whole experience: the fences, the blues, the brews and that unmistakable Coleraine buzz trackside.
