The flat turf track was replaced by a floodlit all-weather surface in 2016 as part of an £11 million redevelopment.
There all-weather track has a left-handed circuit of over a mile and a half and a straight mile. The round track has long sweeping turns so it is vital to get as close to rail as possible or risk forfeiting a lot of ground.
The National Hunt course at Newcastle is a left-handed, galloping track with a long uphill finish. Stamina is the key factor in the staying chasers like the four-mile Eider Chase, particularly when the going is soft.
