I have been enjoying following this thread. Interesting in the different types of tracks you guys have over there. While I have been to a few of the ones you have mentioned, I have seen the others on TV. Where I live in the deep south there are 13 tracks within a two to two and a half hour drive. Of those 13 tracks, 5 are 1200m tracks, 4 are 1000 and 4 are mile tracks. Nine of thoses are all weather and 4 are grass tracks. One is multi. Each and everyone has a completley different racing surface and all have real different bends. One has a false home straight where it leads you into the next and last straight.
What I like about the selection we have is that there is always a track that suits a particular type of horse.
