Eagle Farm Racecourse is a heritage-listed horse racing venue in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is located at one end of Racecourse Road in the suburb of Ascot, from the Brisbane central business district. The turf track is 28 metres wide, with a circumference of 2,027 metres and a home straight of 434 metres. Races are run in a clockwise direction. Doomben Racecourse is located nearby in the same suburb. ==History== The Eagle Farm Racecourse was established in 1863 and it is now the premier racecourse in Brisbane. In 1889–1890, the architecture partnership Hunter and Corrie and architect John H. Buckeridge jointly designed the grandstands, known as the ''Paddock Stands''. They also designed stables and sheds. In 1941 the racecourse was taken over by the military authorities to house thousands of American troops during the Pacific War. It was then known as U.S. Camp Ascot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eagle Farm Racecourse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
