And to celebrate, the Ballarat and District Trotting Club is partnering with Delacombe Town Centre to give primary school students a chance to be a apart of the event.
The club and the centre are running a colouring competition which will allow pupils to have their work displayed on a collage created by Ballarat artist Travis Price.
The work will be reincarnated into a pop art horse to be displayed at the course on race night December 4. Price said he would also be creating a 15m x 3m mural to be permanently displayed at the course.
Ballarat and District Trotting Club chief executive Paul Rowse said there had been a strong push to get young people involved in the racing during the Inter Dominion carnival which has returned to Victoria for the first time in a decade.
The Inter Dominion has been a permanent fixture on Australian and New Zealand race tracks since 1936.
