About this course

Provincial · Sand · 1780m circumference · 340m straight · anticlockwise

Darwin races at Fannie Bay on a surface unlike any other in the country: not grass, but oil mixed with sand. That alone makes form from turf tracks a poor guide here, and it is what lets the Top End run a dry-season carnival through months when a grass course in the tropics would be unusable. The season builds to the Darwin Cup in the middle of the year.

Racing is anticlockwise in NT. We hold 246 races from the course, where fields have averaged 7.7 runners and 1200 metres is the trip it schedules most often. G.A.Clarke has 53 wins from 291 runners here, and Boldinho has won 6 of 9 starts.
