About this course

Turf

Longreach races deep in central-western Queensland, on the Racecourse Reserve at the edge of a town better known as the birthplace of the country's flying doctor and airline history. Meetings out here are few and they are events for the whole district rather than an ordinary afternoon's racing.

We hold 65 races from the course, where fields have averaged 8.4 runners and 1200 metres is the most frequently programmed trip. T.J.Schofield has 13 wins from 67 runners at the track, and Peninsula has won 3 of 4 starts.
