Essential Guide To All-Weather Racing

Jonathan Burgess explains the differences between the four all-weather tracks here in the UK.
 
 
The most apparent difference is in the two surfaces, Polytrack and Fibresand.
 
 
Jonathan also examines the course layouts and how this can affect the horse's performance, as well as draw bias.
 
On the all-weather courses, it is very important that horses are able to hold their position. It’s much harder to win from off the pace.
 
If you haven't heard about my book Patterns In The Sand it's a guide to speed ratings on all-weather tracks in the UK.
