Course Characteristics: A triangular right handed (clockwise) circuit of 1 mile 5 furlongs with plenty of undulations, Carlisle is a dual purpose course hosting both jumping and flat racing throughout the year. There is a chute on the home straight allowing for 5 and 6 furlong races on a straight course. The entire home straight is uphill. The uphill run-in is particularly challenging and horses with stamina doubts over the distance should be treated with caution. Carlisle is one of those courses where jockeyship is probably more important than usual and a jockey with a good record at the course should not be ignored. Draw Advantage: Nothing significant, although low numbers have a slight advantage in sprints when the stalls are on the far side. On the other hand when the going is testing high drawn runners seem to hold the edge. (was the opposite way round prior to the 2011 season when the stall numbering system changed) Open full review (Opens in new window) |
