Redcar
Summary (for full review click link below)
Redcar stages flat racing only where the main races are the Zetland Gold Cup and the Two-Year-Old Trophy.
Course Characteristics:
Redcar is a tight oval of 1 mile 5 furlongs with an extended straight for races of up to a mile in length. It is a left handed (anti-clockwise) course and it is perfectly level throughout.
Despite the somewhat tight bends Redcar strongly favours the galloping sort.
Draw advantage: On the straight course those drawn high have an advantage, especially when the stalls are on the stands side.
Draw Advantage: None
