One of the newest courses to open in South Africa, the current track at Fairview opened in June 1967. Prior to that, racing had been held in the town at a nearby venue since 1857.
A dual surface track, Fairview boasts both a 2700m turf course encapsulating a polytrack all-weather surface that runs inside. A number of Listed and Grade 3 contests call Fairview home, with both the East Cape Derby and Champion Juvenile Cup being good pointers to some of the bigger races throughout the South African racing calendar.
