Key Characteristics
Cartmel racecourse is the Jump racing equivalent of Chester on the flat. It is little over a mile all the way round, and to say it is tight would be an understatement, as horses are permanently on the turn. The distance from the last bend to the winning post is just a little over a furlong, however the run from the last fence to the finish of half a mile is the longest in the country. As you would expect Cartmel suits small nippy horses, and also helps front running horses. It is most definitely a course specialist racecourse.
