Racing and Training Tracks
Singapore Turf Club can boast a variety of different training tracks with varying course widths and lengths.
Strath Ayr Turf Track stretches to 2000m for the long course and 1800m for the short course. The width of 5 courses within the track range between 17m to 31m. This sand-based track is turfed with El-Toro Zoysia, a University of California patented grass which is reinforced with netlon fibres.
This is a synthetic surface made up of wax coated recycled fibres, silica and chopped rubber. Polytrack provides cushioning for the horses, regardless of weather, as it is able to spread out the impact of the horses’ hooves through its surface. It also adapts accordingly to wet weather as the binding technology allows wax to combine with water, making it firmer after rain.
