About the Randwick Races
The Royal Randwick horse racing track is one of the most famous and prestigious racecourses in Australia. It also has the largest racetrack in New South Wales. It was inaugurated in 1833 and was then known as Sandy Course. Over its 160 years of existence, it has been the stage of a number of popular Group 1 and Group 3 horse racing events.
In 1992, Queen Elizabeth gave permission to the Australian Jockey Club to change the name of the course to Royal Randwick. Nowadays, it is now the racing headquarters of Sydney. Located just five kilometers from the central area of Sydney, the Randwick race track is the home of 45 horse races a year.
Being one of the largest in New South Wales, this horse racing turf has a circumference of 2,227 metres that features sweeping blends and an uphill slope straight of 410 metres. Races here are staged clockwise. This racing headquarters is also home to four training tracks, a bull ring and an equine pool. These amenities are now being used by over 650 horses and 20 trainers.
The Randwick racecourse is home to popular Australian horse racing events such as the Australian Derby and the Epsom Handicap. The Australian Derby is a 2,400-metre race for three-year-old Thoroughbred horses and it the top event for three-year-olds in the race classification system of Australia and New Zealand. The 2010 edition of this race was won by Shoot Out with jockey Stathi Katsidis and trainer John Wallace. Shoot out completed the race at 2:27.58 which is the new Australian Derby record.
Also, the Australian Derby is part of the Autumn Racing Carnival which is hosted by Randwick during April or May. Another race that is part of the Autumn Racing Carnival is the Doncaster Handicap which is a 1600-metre open handicap race with a prize pool of $1.5 million.
