How the Track Races

Tempo matters: On-speed runners get favours when the mid-race slackens.
Draws: Barriers closer to the rail help if speed is steady; wide runs need genuine tempo.
Rain: Monitor lane patterns — inside can chop out late on wet days.

Getting There

Train: Caulfield Station (short walk). Tram/Bus: Services stop near the course. Drive: Event-day parking and rideshare zones are signposted — arrive early on Group 1 days.
