Info
The Sunshine Coast Turf Club is renowned for offering some of the finest horse racing facilities in Australia. Located 89km north of Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast Racecourse sits within one of the country’s most popular holiday destinations.
Well known for its golden beaches and relaxed lifestyle, the Sunshine Coast also delivers an excellent racing experience. The feature event of the season is the Caloundra Cup Carnival, held during winter. This popular carnival attracts racegoers of all ages who come to enjoy high-quality racing and soak up the lively, festival-like atmosphere across the course.
The venue also hosts night racing, made possible by nearly 1,000 lights installed around the track, adding an extra layer of excitement to evening race meetings.
The Sunshine Coast Racecourse has a total circumference of 1,967m and features long, sweeping bends that allow horses coming from off the pace a genuine chance to finish strongly. The spacious 400m home straight gives spectators plenty of opportunity to cheer their favourites as they charge to the finish line.
