Info

Warwick Farm Racecourse is one of NSW's premier race tracks and brings its own touch of country style tranquillity to Australian racing. Warwick Farm is located 30km South-West of Sydney on the shores of the Georges River which is adorned by some of Sydney's most pristine bushland.Warwick Farm is set apart from most metropolitan racecourses by its relaxed picnic atmosphere to race goers. Its 1,937m circumference is fairly triangular in shape with only three turns. The tight angles of the turns generally gives front runners a nice advantage as they cover a lot less ground on their journey to the 326m long straight. In March every year the course hosts its hallmark event, The Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes, which tests Australia’s best milers under weight for age conditions.Barriers:1000m – Starting in a chute the race starts just shy of course proper where runners sprint for 650m before hitting the final turn. This doesn’t give inside barriers much of an advantage.1100m – The same as 1000m with a 750m sprint to the turn and not much advantage for inside barriers.1200m – Now with about 850m to the turn there is no advantage for barriers.1400m – Runners get a long 1050m stretch before the home turn which gives every barrier an equal chance of winning.1600m – Starts in a chute just after the final turn giving runners a 400m run before negotiating the first of two turns. Inside barriers have a bit of an advantage.2200m – Action now starts on course proper in the home straight 300m before the first of the three turns. Inside barriers have a small advantage.2400m – This distance see action start in a chute 200m up from the 2200m starting point. It’s 500m down the home straight to the first turn so inside barriers don’t have much of an advantage.Feature Races:FebruaryLight Fingers Stakes G2 3YO Fillies sw 1200mBreeders Classic G2 Mares sw + p 1200mRoyal Soverign Stakes G2 3YO C&G sw 1200mMarchChipping Norton StakesG1 Open wfa 1600mSurround Stakes G2 3YO Fillies sw 1400mLiverpool City Cup G3 Open qlty 1300mAugustWarwick Stakes G2 Open wfa 1400mUp and Coming Stakes G3 3YO Quality 1300mSilver Shadow Stakes G3 3YO Fillies sw+p 1200m
