Experience the Thrill of the Track

Established in 1887 by the Johannesburg Turf Club, Turffontein Racecourse is one of South Africa’s premier venues for Thoroughbred horse racing. Located in Gauteng, the track features both inner and outer grass circuits. Home to prestigious events like the Group One South African Derby and the Summer Cup in November, Turffontein is renowned for its challenging layout—especially the stamina-testing climb from the 1200-metre mark to the final bend.
