Warwick Farm Barriers Starting Positions:
1000m: Straight run of 700m to the home turn. Drawing inside barrier 10 is an advantage.
1100m & 1200m: Starts in a chute off the course proper, there is a long straight run before the home turn. Inside barriers have a slight advantage.
1400m: Starts at the end of the chute off the back of the course, straight run of almost 1100m before the home turn. Barriers are of little importance.
1600m: Located in a short chute off the back of the course. Straight run of 400m to the first corner. Inside barriers are a slight advantage in larger fields.
2130m & 2200m: Begins on the course proper in the home straight. Short run to the first turn but barriers are of little importance.
2400m: Begins in a short chute located off the home straight. Barriers should be of little importance, but winners usually start inside barrier 8.
Circumference is 1937 metres, length of the home straight is 326 metres. One of the smaller city racecourses. Horses race in a clockwise direction.
Characteristics: On pace runners often do well here due to the sharp turns and short home straight which makes it difficult to finish from behind. However, in wet conditions runners will go very wide to find the better going, on these days swoopers can win. Inside barriers generally have a slight advantage.
