The Track
The circumference of Echuca Racecourse is 1,811 metres, while the straight is 353 metres. Up to 400 metres, the track is 18 metres wide, then narrows to 33 metres on the straight.
The turns are wide and well-cambered. The track is thoroughly irrigated and runs smoothly all year. Except for the 1,600-metre start, which has a field limit of 10, all other starts have a field limit of 14.
The Tracks History
Initially, special trains went from other regional towns to take people to the Echuca races. When the Club was founded in 1864, racing was rapidly gaining prominence. The influx of passengers by train from surrounding towns necessitated the construction of a rail siding adjacent to the racetrack to accommodate the special ‘racing’ trains. Despite a drop in popularity between the two World Wars, the town’s excitement for racing continues.
