Thirsk Racecourse

Thirsk Racecourse consists of a round, left-handed, oval track, just over a mile and a quarter in distance, with a run-in of half a mile. There is a straight six-furlong course, which is slightly undulating throughout.

The round course itself is almost perfectly flat, but the turns are relatively easy and the ground well levelled all round. The track is on the sharp side and by no means ideal for a horse that requires time to settle down, and time and space to get down to work in the straight.
