Chief Stipe Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 Doesn't look 16m. Mind you it's hard to tell the distance between the inside rail and the outside rail at Riccarton today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Centaur Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 British Standards for AWT should have a course width of at least 21.9 yards (20 metres) catering for the maximum number of runners permitted. The Safety Figure will usually be 16-18, although this may vary depending upon the start position involved (see 1.4 - Safety Figures). Some flexibility may be possible depending on the Safety Figure intended. Furthermore, in certain circumstances on AWT tracks, a 20% reduction in the width of the course on the bends may be permitted. So it seems its a the very lowest of allowable width.
