Rosehill Gardens racecourse is situated in New South Wales and is home to Sydney Turf Club. It was the brainchild of John Bennett who purchased land in the Parramatta area on which he built his racecourse in 1885. One of its earliest Group races was the Rosehill Guineas for 3 year old which was first run in 1910 when Electric Wire was successful. It can boast the richest two-year old race in the World in the AAMI Golden Slipper over 1500 metres, although this is just one of 8 Group One races staged at the course in March and April. The right handed turf course is a square shape with perimeter 10 furlongs with a 2 furlong home straight, offering unrivalled viewing for racegoers. It is located just 25 minutes, or 16 miles, West of Sydney and can be reached by the M4 Tollway and Victoria Road. Other Group One races include the George Ryder Stakes, first run in 1973 when won by All Shot, and the Queen of the Turf Stakes over 1500 metres, first contested in 1972 when won by Refulgence. |
