An odd question.

Hi,

Sorry to bother everyone, does anyone know how wide the All-Weather course at Kempton is?

[CarryOnKatie]

Wide enough to accomodate runner handicaps!!

Gee, thanks. Very useful!

I’m almost embarassed to raise this thread but I did a Google seach for ‘Kempton Park dimensions’ & got no joy. Actually that’s not strictly true, I did find some info on the size of their floodlights!

Unless the Kempton Park All-Weather Course has altered since outset then details are as follows –

The key features of Kempton Park’s unique floodlit layout are:

~ a right handed track with a bend radius of 137m

~ a 20m wide home straight and bends of 16m width
~ a track designed to accommodate 17 runners in all distances (other than 5f and 6f races)

~ the outer track is a ten-furlong (2,000m) oval and will host 6f, 7f, 1m, 1m 3f, 1m 4f and 2m races

~ the inner track is an eight furlong (1,612m) oval which allows for 5f and 1m 2f races
~ 42 floodlights illuminate the track
~ 28 of the poles have the ability to be laid flat so that the view of spectators is not hampered

That’s excellent. Thanks very much.
