Our History: A Look Back
Cranbourne was the first place where racing began. A two-day meeting was held on 22nd and 23rd April 1867. Cranbourne didn’t hold a race meeting between 16 October 1941 and 15 March 1947. The Club was reformed with 24 men elected to its Committee. This markedly different from the current 9 members. Racing resumed in 1947, with Bookmaker’s being the only operator. However, On-Course Totalisator betting did not begin until 1954.
Saturday 11 March 1961 was a big day for the TAB. The day saw a limited number of agencies open in the country, city and suburbs. One year later, there were 83 agencies. By the middle of the 60’s, there were 140. At the end the 60’s, there were over 400. Cranbourne Turf Club held its first TAB meeting one week after the opening of Off-Course Totalisator.
Manikato, one of the Champions of the Turf was a two-year old who won his first Cranbourne start in 1978. Manikato won the Blue Diamond Stakes as well as the Golden Slipper, Ascot Vale Stakes, and the Caulfield Guineas in 1978.
The Turf Club’s turnover on the course has grown from modest beginnings to become one of the most successful country clubs in the state. Under the leadership of Frank Callinan, Chairman, and Joe Taylor, Secretary, the Club made great strides.
