	Chute (racecourse) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In horse racing, the term chute refers to an extended path increasing the length of a straight portion of a racecourse, particularly an oval-shaped one, allowing races of a specified distance to start at a location other than on one of the turns.
		The backstretch chutes at Aqueduct and Arlington Park are long enough to permit races to be run at one mile (1,609 m), while Saratoga's chute is shorter, extending only to 7 furlongs (1,408 m).
		Added in 1953, this is a downhill turf chute consisting of a straight section, a right turn (rare in modern American horse racing), another straight section, and a long, sweeping left turn, before finally crossing over the dirt course and joining the turf oval.

	Dubai World Cup Day Races
		It is a 2,200-metre three-bend left handed course with three chutes, a 2000-metre chute for the World Cup start, a 1600- metre chute for the mile start, and a 1200-metre chute for the start of the straight six-furlong races.
		The stalls are always positioned on the stands rail so the high numbers are on the outside but due to the various chutes there is always enough time for the jockeys to get a position before going into a bend.
		Nad Al Sheba is a great venue for a wonderful night of international racing and one thing is for sure the track provides a level playing field for all the contenders to perform to their best.

		He was pulled off the racecourse after he had already lost first place to Follmer.
		Hence, racers rounding the scoring chute had to maintain a slow speed, until they cleared the last buoy.
		This only delayed racers going through the chute by about 5 seconds, but this is where racers such as Mulligan and others committed infractions which eventually cost them from 10 to 30 seconds in their overall times.

		The effect of a wide draw can be negated to some extent by the siting of the false rail, though, and horses making their run on the outside of the course often hold an advantage when the going is soft.
		A right-handed course with a circumference of 2300m and a separate starting chute for 1800m races, Scottsville has a run-in of 600m, all of it up a fairly steady incline.

		THE running rail at the Swan Hill racecourse might not be in the same league as the Sistine Chapel, but it certainly has received large amounts of care, time and effort from the race club's would-be Michelangelo.
		Once that was completed, he decided he would paint the rest of the outside rail, which in turn led to the inside, after which he thought he'd do them both again.
		Carl Hufer, group club manager of the Murray Mallee region and based at the Swan Hill racecourse, said all volunteers were invaluable, but Hickey's commitment was exceptional.

		Even an inordinate number of stakes and topnotch allowance races run out of Arlington's seven-furlong and mile chute were won in wire-to-wire fashion.

		Citing uneven ground in the chute, Gulfstream's jockeys refused to ride the race, a seven-furlong event for $20,000-to-$18,000 claimers, even after the area was harrowed.

	Sailing World, McNeill, SORC
		Florida's lone yearly cold front always seemed to beseige the state the day before the start of the race, and in '84 it produced blasting northerlies with companion seas in the Gulf of Mexico.
		A ripped chute, broken pole, broken blocks, broken halyard, a lot more water below; our score would easily have been a 10 if we were competing in a blunderfest.
		The boost in participation can be directly related to the addition of a racecourse on Biscayne Bay to accommodate smaller one-designs, PHRF-raters and multihulls -- classes that had no place in the old SORC, but which have been so pivotal to the event's rebirth that organizers now welcome them with a laurel and hardy handshake.

		The Chute acts exactly as a drag chute does on a racecar to slow it down.
		Additionally, if you deploy a chute too soon after the burn of a Booster, it can be burned away, costing you a valuable braking tool and not slowing the VTV at all.
		The doors on a course are synched to each other, if you are going through a set of doors at one end of the racecourse, the doors at the other end are in the same position.

	Redcar Racecourse - History
		Redcar racecourse is a privately owned independent business — we are not a part of any group.
		The racecourse is clearly one of (probably the) leading attraction within Redcar itself and we are delighted to generate both business and profile for the town itself as well as for our fellow local businesses.
		The course is relatively tight although this is compensated by the banking featured on both bends and Redcar is known for being a very fair track and one where the ‘draw’ has little material effect on running.

		I was racing on Saturday with Steve Steakley and his son Thad on Tampa Bay in the Gasparilla Regatta sponsored by Tampa Sailing Squadron, and I asked Steve when he took delivery of Strider, because I knew it was in 1984, as Mike Speth and myself commissioned the boat.
		Bearing off and setting the large chute to the next mark kept us well in the lead; gybed the big chute, heading for mark 3 was too high with this sail, and the carbon pole started to bow and growl, so we struck the big chute and went to genoa.
		Thad pulled out the Stealth chute, a fl, flat-cut North sail, that we hadn't used in years, but it proved to be the weapon we needed to stretch our lead.
