CANTERBURY
Australia - NSW | RACE COURSE GUIDE
10Km South-West of Sydney CBD
PO Box 21 Canterbury NSW 2193Phone: 02 9930 4000Fax: 02 9930 4099
Canterbury racecourse is situated just 15 minutes from the CBD and its role in the NSW racing set up is as the predominant midweek and night racing site.
The track is only a small venue perfectly suited to the night racing fixtures. Huge crowds in recent years have frequented the course with festival of food stalls and kids’ facilities have attracted them.
Canterbury used to hold one main Saturday metro meeting a season with the Group 1 Canterbury Guineas near the start of the Autumn Carnival over 1900m as the first of the 3yo triple crown.
However that race became the Randwick Guineas run over the mile in 2006 so Canterbury lost its main race....
