The Richmond Racecourse, North West Queensland is home to many annual events on the local community calendar. Many are organised by the Richmond Turf Club which host four Racing Queensland Race Meetings a year, the biggest being the June meeting that is run in conjunction with their annual event Richmond Field Days. 

The formation of the Richmond Turf Club in 1956 was to promote registered race clubs in the west and to form a circuit from Mt Isa to Charters Towers.
