The Track
The track is 2,048 metres (6,719 feet) in circumference, with a home straight of 408 metres (1,339 feet).
John Bennett purchased a vast portion of Rosehill to build a racetrack and amusement facility. Construction began in 1883 and was finished in April 1885 for a total cost of £12,000. In addition, Bennett created a special railway connection connecting the racetrack to the main line at Clyde, which opened on November 17, 1888.
The Sydney Turf Club operated Rosehill Gardens Racecourse from 1943 to 2011. The Sydney Turf Club and the Australian Jockey Club merged in 2011 to form the Australian Turf Club. Rosehill Gardens Racecourse is currently owned and operated by the Australian Turf Club.
