Tuncurry

About this course

Country · Turf · 1750m circumference · 370m straight · clockwise

Tuncurry, on the mid-north coast, races over a genuine horseshoe turn onto a straight that is long for a course this size. The ground it sits on was reclaimed swampland before it became a racecourse, and the club running it today — Tuncurry-Forster — is a young one by country standards, formed only in the two-thousands to carry the racing on.

It is a country Turf course run clockwise in NSW. Across the 57 races in our records, fields have averaged 9.9 runners, and 1000 metres is the distance it uses most. A.Duggan has 5 wins from 7 runners at the course, and Lika Remi has won 3 of 3 starts.
