Working on one turn vs two turn mile track figures.

Which tracks have a one turn 1 mile race?

Lame question that I could probably do some research on but I know someone will be able to answer this quickly.

Thanks.

Belmont, Aqueduct, Churchill, Arlington. I think that's it.

One-turn routes:

Aqueduct main track: 1 mile

Belmont main track: up to 1 1/8 mile

Belmont Widener turf: 1 mile & 1 1/16 mile start from angled chutes (two different ones) on the turn (sort of 1 & 1/3 to 1 1/2 turns)

Belmont inner turf: 1 1/16 mile angled chute

Arlington dirt: 1 mile

Churchill Downs dirt: 1 mile

Hollywood dirt: 7 1/2 furlongs (almost a route)

Colonial has a one-turn mile for harness, but do they use it for TB?

They run 1 mile on the dirt. I've never watched so I don't know about the turns.

Woodbine has a 1 1/8th mile chute on the turf course.

Forgot to mention Ky downs ...they got kind of a 1 turn mile. (They start right after the hairpin) Just an odd shaped course in general.
