Today’s release of Racing Victoria’s 2026 Annual Report has confirmed RV’s return to surplus, while reaffirming Victorian Thoroughbred Racing’s position as the nation’s leading racing product, with the state again home to the most watched, wagered and attended race meetings in Australia throughout the Financial Year ended 30 June 2026 (FY26).

Racing Victoria, Country Racing Victoria and the Benalla Racing Club have elected to take a conservative approach with the return of racing to Bet365 Benalla and have moved its resumption back one month to allow additional time for its new racing surface to consolidate.

The jockeys in the Ararat Bowl wore black armbands in honour of Peter Gray today, a fitting tribute to a respected figure in the racing community whose impact will not be forgotten🫶🏇

[Racing Victoria @RacingVictoria]

Racing Victoria extends its condolences to the family and friends of former long-serving clerk of the course Peter Gray following his recent passing.

Peter was well known throughout the racing industry as both a trainer and clerk of the course, combining his knowledge and love of horses while working as a clerk primarily at Ballarat and across the Wimmera region. He remained in the role until 2020.

He passed his passion for thoroughbreds on to his two children, with both daughter Remi and son Bede following in his footsteps to work as clerks of the course.

Remi and Bede are both clerking today at Ararat Gold Cup Day, at the racecourse where Peter also served as track manager.

A much-loved and highly respected member of Victoria's racing community, Peter will be fondly remembered. Our condolences go out to Remi, Bede, wife Andrea and all who knew him.
