Gympie

About this course

Country · Sand · 1600m circumference · 280m straight · clockwise

Gympie's course is circular and tight-turning, in the Mary Valley north of Brisbane, and despite the Turf Club's own name the surface is sand rather than grass — worth knowing before leaning on a horse's turf form here. A short run home leaves little room to make up for a slow start.

It is Sand, run clockwise in QLD. Fields have averaged 8.1 runners over the 45 races in our database, with 1170 metres the trip it programs most often. T.B.Thomas has 14 wins from 73 runners here, and Holiday Dreams has won 3 of 5 starts.
