It was a great success and we are grateful for the opportunity to help improve the safety and fairness of the major race at Churchill Downs on Saturday the 5th of September 2020. The race, although run without a crowd, was widely celebrated as a great victory on the international horse racing stage for its ability to adapt to new race conditions, including the development of track performance using the singular Steriline [Starting Gate](https://www.sterilineracing.com/our-products/starting-gates/) compared to previous years that have utilised multiple gates joined together. The new 65 feet 20-stall [starting gate](https://www.sterilineracing.com/our-products/starting-gates/) which fits comfortably on the 120-foot track, eliminated the gap between the standard gate and auxiliary gate, reducing the likelihood of bumping between horses from post positions 14 and 15 and improving the breakaway space between post 1 and the rail. This single gate is more narrow than the combined two-gate system, and the actual space for the horse within each stall is wider.
