Weekend Track Conditions

Published: 09 Jan 2015

We head to Royal Randwick and Flemington this week, two iconic locations for thoroughbred racing.

The steady and sustained home turn at Flemington is usually navigated with ease by most gallopers, but only the strongest can maintain their run down the long straight.

Royal Randwick's lush turf and famous 'rise' at the start of the straight make it a course that is suited for tougher types. Bigger gallopers that rely on rhythm often won't be at their best.

The forecast tracks conditions for the day are:

Royal Randwick

• Current Rating - GOOD 3
• Weather Forecast - Chance of rain/showers later
• Rail - TRUE
• Expected Bias - Close to Fair / Possible Off Rails Bias

Flemington

• Current Rating - GOOD 4 (rain during week)
• Weather Forecast - Light rain
• Rail - +3 metres
• Expected Bias - Close to Fair / Run-on no disadvantage
