About Gulgong

The Gulgong circuit is tight and quirky, rewarding horses that handle short runs and sharp turns β€” very different from the spacious galloping tracks at nearby Mudgee and Dubbo. That contrast is the punter's edge: horses that win at Gulgong have shown a specific versatility, and their form often holds up when they return to the more conventional circuits over summer.
