Courses question

[Sgt.Sunshine]

I'm currently updating/improving my database. A few niggles have appeared and I was hoping the knowledge on here could sort them out! Are there 1m straight races at Leicester? Some course maps have only 1m round, some have both. Usually the results on SportingLife have (str) to signify a straight race, but I don't trust their database. Same question for Folkestone - are there two configurations for 7f, or just the straight one? No results service I have found have differentiated as they do for other courses suggesting only one is used nowadays, but all course maps show both 7f round and 7f straight starts. Interestingly, the best source of info generally - RacingPost - doesn't differentiate their results at any courses (e.g. Doncaster, Newcastle 8f stright/round) - or am I missing something? Anyone with in-depth course knowledge? Thanks

Re: Courses question Leicester does have a straight mile, the 1m1f races start in the back straight.
