Bunbury

About this course

Provincial · Turf · 1796m circumference · 348m straight · anticlockwise

Bunbury races south of Perth on a turning Turf circuit of many bends, fed by three starting chutes, and is one of the stronger provincial clubs in WA. There is a sand training track inside the course proper. With that many turns, a horse caught wide for any length of time pays for it.

Our records hold 179 races here, run anticlockwise, with fields averaging 10.7 runners and 1400 metres the most commonly programmed trip. M.P.Grantham leads the local stables with 14 wins from 55 runners, and Galway Shawl has won 4 of 5 starts.
