About Randwick racetrack:
Characteristics: there are two tracks at Sydney’s Royal Randwick. The course proper is the largest turf racecourse in NSW with a circumference of 2227 metres, length of the home straight is 410 metres long and 28 metres wide. A large, sweeping track with a rise from the 300m mark to the winning post in the home straight, horses race in a clockwise direction. Most runners will have their chance when the rail is in the True position and the going is Good. The turf courses in NSW, including Randwick, can be severely affected by wet weather and this has resulted in the loss of several meetings in recent times. For this reason, the second course at Randwick, known as Kensington, has been reconstructed using the Strathayr racing surface. Moonee Valley is the only other metropolitan racecourse in Australia to use this type of track. Strathayr is a turf cover over a base of sand, this means it is a free draining track which can take a substantial amount of rain without it affecting the rating. The going will be most often rated between Good and Dead, but will not always suit horses who like to race on top of the ground. It is also a smaller course, being positioned inside the course proper, so on pace runners will often have an advantage and inside barriers are preferred.
Randwick Barriers Starting Positions:
1000, 1100m & 1200m metre starts: Barrier stalls are located in an angled chute at the back of the course proper. There is a straight run to the home turn, inside barriers have a slight advantage.
1400m: Starts in a chute off the back of the course, angled run to the first corner then a straight run to the home turn. Inside barriers have a slight advantage.
1600m: Located in a short chute off the back of the course. Straight run of 650m until the first turn, inside barriers are a slight advantage.
1800m: Begins on the course proper on the left hand side of the track. Barriers are of little importance.
2000m: Located on the turn just out of the home straight. Runners are on a curve until they reach the back stretch of the course. Fields are restricted, inside barriers are a distinct advantage, particularly when the rail is out.
2400m: Barriers are positioned in front of the grandstand in the home straight. Barriers are of little importance.
3200m: Only one race over this distance every year, the Sydney Cup. In recent years winners have started from inside barrier 9.
