Sandown Race Track Description

The Sandown Race Track Lakeside track has a circumference of 1,857 metres and a home straight of 407 metres

The Sandown Race Track Hillside track is 2,087 metres in circumference with a home straight of 491 metres.

Sandown Race Track is a specialist track and as such, barriers are not that important as there is a good straight to get horses into a good position.  Sandown Race Track does not necessarily favour front runners as many such horses have been overcome by those coming from well back.  

Sandown Race Track History

• In June 1965, Sandown Race Track opened before a crowd of 52,000.

• In 1997, a Quarantine Centre was established to cope with the increase in the number of overseas horses being attracted to the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

• In October 2001, the Melbourne Racing Club commenced the redevelopment of Sandown Race Track. This consisted of an additional 30 metre wide home turn and widening of the main straight from 30 to 45 metres, and widening of the turn out of the straight from 30 to 45 metres.

• In January 2003, racing on the reconfigured tracks commenced on 25th January 2003 with the number of meeting hosted at Sandown Race Track being increased from 32 to 41 per season.
