About this course

Sand

Gladstone races at Ferguson Park, on sand rather than turf, in the industrial port city on Queensland's central coast. Sand rides differently from grass and the form of a turf horse does not always carry across, which is worth weighing before leaning on a runner's record elsewhere.

Across the 50 races in our records, fields have averaged 6.5 runners, and 1000 metres is the distance it schedules most often. L.C.Kiernan has 9 wins from 30 runners here, and Borneo has won 3 of 8 starts.
