TRACK INFORMATION

General Information
A major reconstruction of the track was undertaken in 2007/2008. The track was widened and the turns were cambered to improve safety for horses and riders. An extensive drainage grid was installed along with state of the art irrigation systems. The track is 1837m in circumference, 24m wide all way around with the length of the home straight 336m.
Pinjarra Park now compares favourably with any race track in Australia. It is widely acknowledged for its safe racing surface and fairness to all horses.

Track Rules
The Sand Track Facilities at the racecourse are for jogging and slow work only. The Club will advise dates and times for fast work on the Grass Track. All horses exercised in the Stable Area must have a bit in their mouth. Trainers who are leading horses in the Stable Area must do so on foot and not while riding another horse.
