Turffontein Racecourse
Turffontein Racecourse is a horse-racing track in West Turffontein, Johannesburg South, South Africa. It opened in 1887, at the Turf Club St.
History
It was founded in 1887 at Turffontein, Gauteng, by the Johannesburg Turf Club. It had undergone a major refurbishment, including installing floodlights, renewing the existing trackside facilities, and opening a sports bar, after Newmarket Racecourse in Johannesburg was sold to local business people in early 2007.
In July 2016, Turffontein Racecourse was declared a heritage site by the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation. The track is located in the southern suburbs of Johannesburg in South Africa. It is one of the major training centers and one of the oldest horse racing venues in South Africa.
Experts also widely consider it as one of the most difficult tracks in the country and famed for its magnificent views of Joburg’s iconic skyline.
It hosts 70 race meetings featuring the annual Gauteng SANSUI Summer Cup, Champions Day, and Triple Crown Series.
Track Details
It has both an inner and outer grass track. The Standside has a Turf track measuring 2700m and oval. Races up to 1160m straight course. Beyond 1160m clockwise round turn with 800m run-in. The track rises 12m from 1600m to 800m marks.
Another turf is 2500m near the oval circuit, located inside the Standside track. It shares a common pull-up area. All races run clockwise around the turn with a run-in of slightly less than 500m. The track rises 10m from the 1400m to the 500m marks. Like most of the tracks, they also offer fast food and restaurants.
