Clare Racing Track

Clare Racecourse is located in the heart of the renowned Clare Valley wine region, approximately 145km north of Adelaide’s CBD.

The rich history of the Clare Valley is reflected at the racecourse, which now hosts four race meetings each year, including the feature event, the Clare Cup. The venue also features a modern function centre positioned along the home straight, providing uninterrupted views of the racing action.

The course proper has a distinctly square layout with a maximum circuit distance of 1,450m. With a relatively short 220m home straight, positioning is crucial, and horses that are close to the rail approaching the home turn tend to have the best chance of success in front of the local Clare crowd.
