Epsom Racecourse can be quite testing due to the sharp descents and stiff uphill climbs.
It is left-handed and somewhat unusual in that it is a ‘U’ shape rather than an oval or circle that is more commonly seen.
As well as the ‘U’ shaped course, there is a five-furlong straight course that is predominantly downhill and the fastest of its kind in the world.
