About this course

Country · Turf · 2030m circumference · 400m straight · anticlockwise

Hamilton is a western district course with a real profile: a steep climb through the middle of the circuit, then downhill for most of the way to the turn before levelling into the run home. A horse can be travelling deceptively well after that long descent, which is worth knowing before trusting how a leader looks turning in. The club dates from eighteen fifty-four.
