Left-handed Polytrack, a pure oval with sweeping bends makes it a good track for galloping types. Kickback has been a major issue, resulting in coming from off the pace is more difficult. Changes are being made to make this less of a hindrance.

Races over 7f and 8f are run from different chutes, with the milers negotiating an extra bend. It often pays to follow horses that are up with the pace, as producing a turn of foot in the closing stages can be difficult.
