Looking north past the post marking 3 furlongs (660 yards) from the start of the race track. There are two courses side by side at Chepstow. Nearest the camera is the track for flat racing (no hurdles). Flat races of one mile or less use the straight track ahead. Longer flat races use the straight for about the first five furlongs, then use the track curving to the right. The jumps course is inside the flat course.
