About this course

Country · Turf · 1940m circumference · 400m straight · clockwise

Grafton is the Clarence River Jockey Club's course on the northern rivers of NSW, and the club has been running since the eighteen-sixties. Two things define the track: a long home straight off a cambered home bend, and drainage among the fastest on that coast — which matters in country that gets real rain. Its July carnival, built around the Ramornie and the Grafton Cup, is the biggest week in northern country racing.

It is Turf, run clockwise. Our database holds 210 of its races, where fields have averaged 10.2 runners and 1400 metres is the trip it schedules most often. M.J.Dunn has 28 wins from 119 runners here, and Dizzy Dee has won 5 of 6 starts.
