Welcome to the LPC

The Launceston Pacing Club (LPC) conducts race meetings all year round at the picturesque Mowbray Racing Centre, Mowbray. Race meetings are held on a modern 1018 metre track recognised as the equal to any in Australasia.

The LPC Easter Cup

Following its inception in 1917, the Easter Cup has remained one of the richest Standardbred races in northern Tasmania and remains the highlight of the Launceston Pacing Club’s year as a pacing event proudly steeped in tradition.

Facilities

Racegoers are offered excellent facilities throughout the three-level grandstand complex with Tab facilities operating on local and interstate races. Television monitors in all areas display live coverage of all mainland racing including replays.

The facilities are complemented by the sumptuous cuisine in our restaurant on the third level of the complex, which offers a bird’s eye view of the harness track. For children, the expansive lawns and gardens adjacent to the track are a joy to play on.
