Everyone knows St Pat's is great but when the New South Wales Country Racing Council officially recognised the Club in 1999 for conducting the Best Non-TAB Country Race Meeting at its inaugural Awards for Excellence, the entire community was justifiably proud of the achievement. 

St Pat’s reputation as a great event has also been acknowledged by the “Keep Australia Beautiful Council” when it awarded the Club its annual award for “Best Community Event” in the 2000 Tidy Towns Competition.

The Club continued to be recognised for its community efforts in 2002, winning the Western Catchment Environmental Care Award for a major greening project at the Broken Hill Racecourse.

A finalist in the Tourism NSW Awards for Excellence in 2003, 2004 and 2005,and Racing New South Wales industry awards in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, St Pat's continues to grow, enhancing the social and economic fabric of the entire far western region of New South Wales.

An icon event in racing throughout Australia and in regional tourism, everyone is guaranteed to find something special when they spend the day at the St Pat's Races.
