Location

The Race That Stops Quindanning

Steeped in history and legend, the Quinny Races originally took place in 1919 with locals taking their horses and carts down for an afternoon of entertainment; known then as the "Brumby Races."

​

Disbanding for a few decades after WWII, the Quindanning Races was resurrected on New Year’s Day in 1979 by two mates arguing over the superiority of their respective horses. 

​

The bet was made and the wager was set at $100. Word soon got out, and crowds of over 800 people began to gather to bear witness. 

​

Whatever the result, it's safe to say that the legacy of the winning horse pales in comparison to the beloved community event that resulted because of it.
