Ascot Racecourse Topography
The diagram below shows the topography of the Ascot Racecourse.
Ascot 1 Mile Straight Course
The diagram shown above perfectly illustrates why Ascot is seen as such a testing course, particularly the straight course which is what this is showing. It is uphill all of the way from the mile start to the finish, and it requires horses that can really stay whatever distance they are running over.
