Track Info

[kompressaur]

Ive been out the game for a long time. way back when i was into the horses there was only Lingfield and Southwell from memory (early 90's) Now we have Kempton having an all weaher (they still got turf too?) and Wolverhamton (any others?)

Which ones have the same surfarce?

Which ones are right handed and which is left handed?

Is there anything else i should take into account when looking at a horses a/w form?

thanks

Wolverhampton
Lingfield
Great Lieghs ( If re-opened). All left handed & polytrack.

Kempton : Right handed and polytrack.

Southwell : Left handed & fibresand. 5f track is straight, where there is a middle to low bias. I love Catlin in the staying races here; never gives in and worth a look in running at big prices.

Generally pace horses struggle to hold leads at Lingfield ( can vary in the winter under different track conditions), whist Southwell it's the complete opposite.

Not much of a draw bias at Lingfied, although out wide is trick.Greg Fairley tends to struggle at this track, probably due to the nature that most of Johnsons are prominent runners. Lingfield pace tends to vary a lot, which does tend to create qiute a few bad luck stories, so gallopers need to be handily placed.


Kempton is certainly a high draw track, especially with a prominent runner.The Swinburn/ harris ownede horses always worth a look here.

Mark Johnson always worth a look, except Lingfield ( explained under Greg Fairly) as he runs expensive breds, are "always trying", but still go off reasonably priced.
