I have never played ery close attention to Euro racing. Lately have been watching a little. The GOODWOOD course intrigues me. Wondering if any current domestic venue could build a turf course wiyh this configuration even adapting it to race in the US clockwise fashion.Only 1 tight turn and various very wide sweeping turns depending on the distance. The only way I see this could be accomplished is to make the turf course outside of the dirt course and I wonder if it could withstan the traffic of horses access to the dirt course. Another alterternative could be a turf only aka Ky Downs that runs a high end turf meet limited to around 3-4 weeks.You can go to Goodwoods siite a se this track design. Its kinda embarrasing to me because I always thought TB racing was all about going around in circles.

I don't know, but the Curragh always cracks me up...it's like they meander down a few hills, around a meadow, and hey! - they're back at the finish line!
