Racing in Australia is conducted both clockwise and anti-clockwise and it is consistent across States.

For example in the New South Wales, ACT and Queensland horses race in the clockwise direction.

Racing in the remainder of the States, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and Northern Territory is conducted anti-clockwise.

Sometimes horses when changing racing direction take time to adjust. This is particularly the case when horses travel from Sydney to Melbourne during the major carnivals.
