....
Like most racetracks in England they race left handed at Redcar.
The bends here at Redcar are quite tight and will not suit some horses.
Despite the tight bends at Redcar,it is still regarded as a galloping track,as the bend into the straight still has a long 5 furlongs run in to go before the winning post.
Draw bias - no real bias at Redcar,but they tend to run in the middle of the track for all races up to a mile,and there may be a very slight advantage to being drawn with a middle number.Any race that takes in the bends has no bias at all as the long run in enables horse and jockey to position themselves.
It is unusual for any course to have a mile straight track,and Redcar provide that,and also claim it is the only U.K. track over a mile that is both straight and completely flat with no undulations.
