Track Notes
Course Summary
Right-handed mile-tier turf course starting on the front homestretch. The race opens with a downhill section, but a long uphill climb dominates the backstretch and later turn. Early forward positioning is important because the final straight is short and the tight final bend leaves little time to recover.
