Rosehill Racecourse To Be Sold To Fund $5bn Investment
December 7, 2023
Sydney’s Rosehill Racecourse will be relocated to make way for tens of thousands of new homes and an additional Metro West station, under a new proposal by the NSW government.
The government is working on the proposal with the ATC, who are investing $5 billion into the joint plan.

Besides the relocation, those funds will also go into rebuilding and developing existing racecourses and facilities at Warwick Farm and Royal Randwick.

A centre of excellence horse training facility will be constructed at Horsley Park to accommodate the relocation of 300-400 horses from Rosehill Gardens stables.
Rosehill racecourse will be gradually moved to a new site by the end of the decade, according to the ATC.
Several sites across Sydney will be earmarked and investigated for the new racing track and facilities.
Gai Waterhouse was quick to fire shots at the idea “I think it’s the saddest decision they’ve ever made. I don’t think they’ve thought it through”

We are yet to hear from other racing identities but we will be interested to hear what champion Rosehill trainer, Chris Waller has to say about the idea.
