About this course

Country · Turf · 1730m circumference · 300m straight · anticlockwise

Wangaratta shares its ground with the local showgrounds, in Victoria's north-east, and the track has real shape to it: a real drop from the top of the circuit down to the home turn, then a climb of several metres back up to the post. A horse that has coasted downhill still has work to do in that last rise, which is easy to miss reading a flat time.

It is a country Turf course run anticlockwise in VIC. Across the 107 races in our records, fields have averaged 11.2 runners, and 1590 metres is the distance it uses most. W.B.Brisbourne has 12 wins from 101 runners at the course, and Sheer Lunacy has won 2 of 2 starts.
