Exeter Racecourse

I'm just updating my racecourse details while it is quiet and have noticed one or two sources are suggesting Exeter has a stiff, uphill finish. However, looking at the RP elevation, it appears to be downhill.

Can anyone confirm one or t'other? cheers

Just used a good site for measuring elevations, not Google (snail) Earth

Winning post 238m
Half way 233m
From home turn 226

The RP are just crap at everything

Course map
Exeter is an undulating right handed course of about two miles, flanked with heather and gorse bushes and set in superb countryside, six miles from Exeter.[4] The original course was described as a "fine oval course of two miles", though in the 1850s an additional flat course was added, one mile long, making the total course length three miles. By the 1940s, the steeplechase matched the line of the original course.[5] One lap of the course includes eleven fences, two of which are open ditches and one a water jump.[10] The first part of the back straight is downhill, followed by a long climb which takes in four fences. The course then sweeps downhill into the home straight, which is uphill to the line. From the winning post, the ground falls round the first bend, where the water jump is taken. The course continues downhill over two more fences, including an open ditch before a brief climb to the back straight.[4]
