Musselburgh
Summary (for full review click link below)
Situated on the coast, 7 miles east of Edinburgh, Musselburgh is a dual purpose course. It’s a flat, right handed (clockwise) circuit, 1¼ miles in length, with a small chute off the home straight for 5 furlong races.
Draw Advantage: In large field sprint races low drawn runners can have the advantage.
Admission:
Musselburgh operates a single enclosure policy costing £15 (£20 weekends) and £25 on Ladies Day.
Location:
Situated on the outskirts of the town on the A720 the approach is well sign-posted. An active breeding colony of yellow cones prevents any parking on nearby streets, effectively forcing patrons to use the official car park.
Ease of public transport access: Good (Rail to Wallyford station then courtesy bus)
Suitability for the first time racegoer: good
