ABOUT WARRNAMBOOL RACING TIPS
Warrnambool Racecourse is one of Australia's most iconic racing venues, famous for its annual May Racing Carnival. Located on the south-west Victorian coast, the track has been hosting racing since 1852 and is home to the Grand Annual Steeplechase — the world's longest jumps race at 5500 metres.
The left-handed circuit measures 2000 metres in circumference with a 380-metre straight. The track is particularly well-suited to stayers and jumpers, with the Grand Annual Steeplechase being the highlight of the May carnival.
The Warrnambool May Racing Carnival is one of the most popular country racing events in Australia, attracting visitors from across Victoria and interstate. The three-day carnival features the Grand Annual Steeplechase, the Warrnambool Cup, and the Wangoom Handicap — all worth $200,000 or more.
For punters, Warrnambool is a track where jumps form is as important as flat racing form. The May carnival attracts quality horses from Melbourne's metropolitan circuit, making it a key form reference for the winter racing season.
