Esperance

About this course

Turf

The Esperance Bay Turf Club races at Bandy Creek on the far south coast of Western Australia, where the season is a short summer one running through to the Esperance Cup at its close. It is remote even by the standards of country racing, and its meetings draw the district in.

Across the 71 races in our database, fields have averaged 10.8 runners, and 1100 metres is the trip it schedules most often. D.V.Page has the strongest record among stables with 15 wins from 56 runners, and Harlequin Prancer has won 5 of 7 starts here.
