The new track is 70 metres wide, licensed for up to 30 horses and has been designed
as a fast galloping track with cambered bends and a stiff uphill climb on the back straight,
rising 20 metres in three furlongs.
Just over a mile and two furlongs in length, the steeplechase course will take place
on the outside with a proposed eight fences, with the flat and hurdle courses inside.
The track rides right handed and the elevated position of Hugh McMahon Stand
provides a clear view of the whole oval shaped course.
Irrigation is provided by a man-made lake in the centre of Greenmount,
holding 6 million cubic inches of water, specially linked into the main drainage
system to ensure the highest quality racing surface.
