Gunnedah

About this course

1800m circumference · 400m straight · clockwise

Gunnedah's own Riverside course is squared off with rounded corners rather than a true oval, set in gardens beside the river, and the Jockey Club running it dates back to the eighteen-sixties. The long sweeping home turn feeds a full-length straight, so there is genuine room to make ground late.

We hold 52 races from the course, run clockwise in NSW, with fields averaging 10.4 runners and 1000 metres the most commonly programmed trip. M.D.Griffith has 6 wins from 10 runners here, and Chestime has won 2 of 2 starts.
