Royal Randwick begin installation of a Martin Collins Polytrack training track
The Australian Turf Club has begun work on a new Martin Collins Polytrack training circuit at Royal Randwick as part of a further upgrade of training infrastructure for Sydney racing.
Work on the new Polytrack surface started this week and weather permitting is scheduled for completion before the end of 2018.
The new Polytrack will be built in place of the existing dirt track and will be 13.5m wide and almost 2000m in circumference.
Australian Turf Club Executive General Manager of Racing James Heddo said “An all-weather Polytrack at Royal Randwick and further work on the sand track will be of great benefit to trainers all year round and especially during wetter periods,”
Trainer Peter Snowden and champion jockey Kerrin McEvoy both praised the benefits of training on a Polytrack.
