Stand
Inside
A right-handed track with a circumference of approximately 2600m, with a 1200m straight course joining the round course at about the 800m mark.
Turffontein is widely considered to be one of the stiffest tracks in the country, because of a steady climb from about the 1200m to the final turn.
Accordingly, horses racing from well off the pace usually hold every chance.
The straight course is flat, though, and the Turffontein 1200m is probably one of the most undemanding in South Africa.
The draw appears to be of little significance in sprints, but low barriers are favoured in races run over 1400m and 1600m.
