Goulburn

About this course

Country · Turf · 1750m circumference · 400m straight · clockwise

Goulburn races in the southern tablelands, on a course the club moved to at the end of the nineties, and it has a reputation as one of the fairest tracks in the state — a long run home relative to its size, so a horse rarely loses here for want of room. Two chutes feed the starts, and how far a runner travels before the first turn varies a good deal depending on the trip.

It is a country Turf course run clockwise in NSW. Fields have averaged 8.5 runners over the 158 races in our database, with 1100 metres the trip it programs most often. Annabel & Rob Archibald has 13 wins from 42 runners here, and Peace Bird has won 4 of 4 starts.
