Moruya

About this course

Country · Turf · 1760m circumference · 400m straight · clockwise

Moruya races on the far south coast, on a sand-based track opened in the mid nineteen-eighties and kept going through the dry months by bore-water irrigation — a genuine all-weather course rather than one that merely calls itself that. The long home straight gives a horse held up plenty of the race to make its move.

It is a country Turf course run clockwise in NSW. We hold 99 races from the course, with fields averaging 10 runners and 1010 metres the most commonly programmed trip. Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter has 12 wins from 42 runners, and Mrs Flanders has won 2 of 2 starts.
