Randwick Race Track

Randwick

Randwick, often known as Royal Randwick, is the Australian Jockey Club's main racecourse. It has a circumference of 2,213 metres. The straight is 410 metres long and 30 metres wide at the winning post. Randwick is a roomy course with sweeping bends giving every runner a fair chance. Good horses always have their opportunity to win in the straight, and big striding gallopers can stretch right out. About 300 metres from the winning post, there is a slight uphill grade known as the rise. Intelligent jockeys do not ride their mounts up the rise, but wait until they have topped the rise before making their final burst to the winning post.
