Taree

About this course

Country · Turf · 1530m circumference · 350m straight · clockwise

Taree races on the Manning River on the mid-north coast, on a tight triangular circuit the club moved to in the nineteen-seventies. The shape puts the crowd close to the action — there is no part of the course far from the stand — and it puts a premium on position, because the turns come up quickly and the run home is moderate.

It is a country Turf course run clockwise in NSW. We hold 177 races from the track, where fields have averaged 9.7 runners and 1000 metres is the most commonly programmed trip. K.A.Lees has 14 wins from 68 runners, and Exorbitant Miss has won 2 of 2 starts.
