Salisbury
Summary (for full review click link below)
Set on hills overlooking the City. Salisbury is a flat only track.
Course Characteristics:
The course is a 1 mile straight course (with a slight dog-leg) with a loop to allow running of races over longer distances, which sometimes results in races starting with the runners running the “wrong way” down the home straight.
The course suits resolute horses and runners on the loop need to be agile to take the sharp turn.
Draw advantage: In races up to a mile low numbers are favoured if the stalls are stands side or centre course, but high numbers are favoured if the stalls are on the far side.
Admission (2009 prices):
Awaiting 2010 information
Salisbury has three enclosures, Members (£18), Tattersalls (£11) and Course (£6)
Annual membership: £160
Location:
Situated outside of the City the tourist signs do send you to the course via a rather circuitous route around the ring road and is close to the A3094. The final approach is via a relatively narrow country lane.
Ease of public transport access: Moderate (Rail to Salisbury then bus to course)
