Carlisle Racecourse Topography
The diagrams below show the topography of the Carlisle Racecourse.
Carlisle 6 Furlongs
The 6 and 5 furlong races at Carlisle start from a seperate chute. Carlisle is a very testing course. Although the first 3 furlongs are pretty flat, it is then uphill all the way from there to the finish, It is often Soft ground and the sprint course can take a lot of getting by the horses.
Carlisle One Mile
The races over a mile have a similar profile to the sprint races. In that they start pretty flat but the last half of the race is pretty much uphill all the way. As a consequence the mile course is a very stiff course.
