About Royal Randwick

Royal Randwick, 'headquarters' of the Australian Turf Club, sits in Sydney's eastern suburbs and stages the richest racing in the nation β€” including The Everest, the world's richest turf race at $20 million. The clockwise 2227-metre circuit is one of Australia's most galloping-friendly tracks, with a sweeping home turn that can suit both leaders and closers depending on the rail position.

Renovated in 2013 with the striking curved grandstand 'The Stand', Randwick hosts the April and October championships as well as the Doncaster Mile, Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Sydney Cup. The downhill run into the straight is a signature feature, and on soft tracks leaders can be hard to run down β€” track bias is a live consideration for punters on wet days.

Royal Randwick FAQs

When is The Everest run at Royal Randwick?β€Ί

The Everest is run over 1200 metres at Royal Randwick in mid-October, on the same card as other major spring features. Twelve slot holders each select a runner, making it a unique entry model in world racing.

What is the best barrier at Randwick over 1200m?β€Ί

The 1200-metre start at Randwick is just before the home turn, so inside barriers (1–4) historically hold a slight advantage, particularly when the rail is out. However, the long straight allows wide runners with early speed to cross without spending too much energy.

Does Randwick race clockwise or anti-clockwise?β€Ί

Randwick is raced clockwise, like all NSW metropolitan tracks β€” the opposite direction to Melbourne's anti-clockwise circuits.
