Clare

About this course

1450m circumference · 220m straight

Clare, at Stanley Flat, Clare Valley, is laid out as a genuine square rather than an oval — four turns at right angles instead of two sweeping bends — and the last of them climbs into the home straight, which tends to suit a horse racing on or near the lead. The straight itself is long relative to the circuit's size, giving spectators a proper view of the finish.
