The Racecourse – Geography
20.
The Racecourse is split into various zones. The racetrack itself is unlike other racetracks as it is a horseshoe shape. The start line for the Derby is at the southwest corner, it then extends eastwards before turning northwards and finally westwards to the final straight in front of the grandstands. The racetrack is approximately 1 mile and 4 furlongs in length (the “ Racetrack ” ).
