Strathalbyn

About this course

Provincial · Turf · 1690m circumference · 340m straight · anticlockwise

Strathalbyn is the largest provincial circuit in SA, forty minutes from Adelaide, and it is rated one of the harder tracks of its grade to ride well — a genuine hill rises into the turn for home, and getting the placement wrong on it costs more than it would on a flatter course. The site also carries a grass training track and a sand gallops.

It is Turf, run anticlockwise. We hold 127 races from the course, with fields averaging 10.6 runners and 1350 metres the most commonly programmed trip. David Jolly & Justin Potter has 9 wins from 30 runners, and Savsonic has won 2 of 2 starts.
