King of the Mountain Raceday

Queensland’s most electrifying sprint.
FRIDAY MARCH 27th – 2026

One mountain. One king.
Returning to the Toowoomba Show Holiday, King of the Mountain Raceday is where raw speed, regional pride and racing tradition collide. Enjoy all-day entertainment, standout style at the Florence & Marabel Fashions on the Field, and amazing food through out the day.

At its core is the King of the Mountain, a high-stakes sprint that attracts elite thoroughbreds, fearless jockeys and a crowd that knows great racing when they see it. But this raceday is more than one race. It’s a full-throttle celebration of our local racing culture, and an elegant pre-season counterpart to the iconic Weetwood. 

From the heart of the region, to the top of the mountain.

King of the Mountain is about passionate locals to travelling racing fans, this one of a kind Raceday brings everyone together for fast horses, big moments and an atmosphere that builds from the first race to the final roar. Pride of place racing, bold, competitive and unforgettable.
