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.
