Wyong

About this course

Provincial · Turf · 1791m circumference · 275m straight · clockwise

Wyong races on the Central Coast north of Sydney, on a circular track with a single chute and a short run home — a shape that keeps the emphasis on where a horse is turning in rather than on what it has left. The district has raced since the eighteen-seventies and the present course was built beside the town early last century.

It is a provincial Turf course run clockwise in NSW. Across the 198 races in our records, fields have averaged 8.3 runners, and 1350 metres is the distance it uses most. B.S.Widdup has 13 wins from 52 runners at the track, and Shirvington has won 3 of 3 starts.
