Eagle Farm Racecourse Barrier Guide

• 1000 metres: Starts at the end of a chute off the course proper giving runners a 250 metre straight before the sweeping home turn. Inside barrier draws are a great advantage here.

• 1200 metres: This start is on the course proper and runners have only about 180 metre straight before commencing a sweeping double turn. Runners drawn out wide are of a disadvantage.

• 1400 metres: This barrier is also situated on the course proper, with a run of about 380 metres to the sweeping double turn. Inside barriers have the advantage.

• 1600 metres: Starts on the course proper and there is a straight run for 580 metres to the first turn into the back straight. Inside barrier draws have a slight advantage.

• 2100 metres: Located in the home straight on the course proper giving runners just over 100 metres before the first sweeping turn. Because of the distance of the race and the gradual first turn barriers are of little importance.

• 2200 metres: Same as the 2100 metre barriers are of little importance.

• 3200 metres: Barriers are placed at the 1200 metres start. Runners have 180 metres before commencing a sweeping double turn. This barrier is rarely used apart from the Brisbane Cup. Because of the distance of the race runners have time to find a good position in running. Inside barriers are of slight importance.
