Wellington

About this course

Country · Turf · 1440m circumference · clockwise

Wellington, home of the Wellington Boot carnival each March, has a genuine profile to its circuit: a climb through the back straight, then a steep sweeping run downhill into a short home straight. A horse can look to be traveling strongly on that descent and still be found in the run to the post.

It is a country Turf course run clockwise in NSW. Fields have averaged 9.4 runners over the 42 races in our database, with 1100 metres the trip it programs most often. B.R.E.Thompson has 9 wins from 39 runners here, and Denman Bandit has won 2 of 2 starts.
