The International Horse Centre at Werribee is due for completion in early August ahead of the arrival of international horses for the Spring Racing Carnival.
The new complex replaces the quarantine centre at Sandown which up until last spring housed the international visitors.
Paul Bittar, Racing Victoria Limited's chief strategy officer, said the turf was growing exceptionally well on the new Werribee track which has been fully renovated.
With the international horses working on the track leading up to the 150th running of the Melbourne Cup on November 2, racing won't resume at Werribee until December 4.
