Pineapple Turf Club

About the Club

A club imagined from the best bits of an Australian race day: the yarns, the style, the long lunch and a pineapple on the last.

Good racing. Better company.

Pineapple Turf Club started with a simple idea: racing should be fun for anyone. Not just the rusted-on punters who know every runner in the field. It’s backing one with your mates, blowing up the group chat, arguing over the speed map, sorting the suits for Saturday and bringing the girls along for champagne and a day at the track. You don’t have to win every race. You just have to enjoy the day.

Our fictional honour board starts in 1985, when a borrowed marquee, a pineapple on the bar and a handwritten form guide supposedly drew a better crowd than the members’ stand. The story grew in the telling. By the spring of 2004, the club’s unofficial colours, deep olive and racing yellow, were said to appear wherever a good horse and a group of mates crossed paths.

The club today

In 2026, we carry that tradition online: independent racing coverage, useful tips, sharp trackside style, mint looking merchandise and a community built for people who know it's the day that matters, not the result.

We don’t take bets, and we’re not a bookmaker. Pineapple Turf Club is a media and membership club built around race days, tips, mates, group chats, big Saturdays and having a bloody good time around the races.
