What is widely recognised as the second tier of Australian racing, are Brisbane’s 2 longstanding premier racing venues, Eagle Farm (QTC) and Doomben (BTC). These 2 tracks along with South Australia’s Morphettville Racetrack, and the Western Australia’s Perth Ascot Racecourse, are the only other venues to hold group one races in Australia. These tracks may not offer as much prize money as some of their richer cousins, but they are the biggest racecourses in their respective states, each boasting multiple Group races annually.
