Eagle Farm Racecourse, Horse racing venue in Ascot, Australia

The Eagle Farm Racecourse features a turf track spanning 2,027 meters in circumference with a 434-meter home straight for clockwise racing competitions.

Established in 1863, the racecourse served as Camp Ascot during World War II, housing American troops from 1941 to 1946 before returning to racing activities.

The Federation-style Paddock Stands, designed by Hunter and Corrie in 1889, represent the architectural evolution of Queensland's sporting facilities.

The venue contains 35 function spaces, including the Guineas Room and Society Rooftop, with direct access through the Ascot railway station.

The racecourse maintains original Victorian elements such as wrought iron gates, timber grandstands, and the last semaphore signaling system in metropolitan Brisbane.
