The Gong is one of Racing NSW’s newest showstoppers and has quickly become the unmissable finale to Sydney’s Spring Racing Carnival. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Kembla Grange, this $1Million mile delivers drama, and a festival-like energy you can feel from the gates to the grandstand.

Run over 1600 metres, The Gong is a true test of speed, stamina, and strategy, open to all ages, all genders, and the boldest of competitors ready to chase racing riches. Mark your calendar: Saturday, November 22, 2025. Kembla Grange becomes the heart of Australian racing as it hosts its very own stand-alone Saturday metropolitan meeting, a celebration of a proud racing region stepping boldly into the national spotlight.

Wollongong knows how to put on a show, and The Gong is its signature statement: a community united, an electric atmosphere, a track built for champions, and a crowd that creates a roar all of its own. It’s a party, a tradition in the making, and the ultimate crescendo to Spring.
