Next on May 15, 2026
Experience the excitement of the Scone Racing Carnival - a premier two-day celebration of country racing, style and hospitality in Australia's Horse Capital. The Carnival marks 80 years of Scone Race Club and showcases two feature race days. Friday highlights the prestigious Darley Scone Cup, while Saturday presents the iconic Arrowfield Dark Jewel Classic Day, home to the Group 3 Dark Jewel Classic - the only Group 3 race held at a country racecourse in New South Wales. Set against the backdrop of the Scone Horse Festival, the Carnival is the Club's biggest event of the year and a standout fixture on the NSW autumn racing calendar, attracting racegoers from across the state and beyond. Across both days, guests can enjoy exclusive events and curated hospitality packages designed to elevate the race day experience, from premium dining and marquee options to vibrant social precincts trackside. Scone is located in the Upper Hunter Valley, approximately 3.5 to 4 hours' drive from Sydney via the Hunter Expressway, with regular train services and easy access from Newcastle and regional NSW. Plan your visit and secure your place at one of Australia's leading country racing celebrations.
