Course Information:
Bath Racecourse is a stretched oval-shaped, sharp, left-handed, galloping track, around 12 furlongs in distance. The 5-furlong sprint races start from an extension at the home straight. It has a long run-in of around 4 furlongs, and there is a steady incline to the winning post. Therefore, horses that go for home early often get collared in the closing stages of the race. It also has a camber that takes horses away from the running rail at the final, sharp home turn, which usually ensures that races are truly run. Bath also happens to be the highest flat racecourse in the country at 780 feet above sea level, on the top of Lansdown Hill, so gusty headwinds are common. The going is often very good to firm due to a lack of watering facilities. When all is put together, it makes it somewhat of a specialist track. Therefore, keep a lookout for horses that have won here previously.
