Metropolitan track profiles
The courses with a full write-up. Every other track in the register has its racing and tips on its own page.
Reading a track profile
Circumference and straight length tell you most of what you need. A tight circuit with a short run home rewards tactical speed and a good barrier, while a roomy track with a long straight gives a closer time to wind up.
Rail position is published by the club in the days before a meeting and moves the true distance of every race, so a course can ride quite differently from one week to the next.
Profiles are compiled from the principal racing authority in each state and from club data. Where a course has more than one configuration, the figures describe the layout in most regular use.
