Could this be the old Starcross Racecourse?

William Morgan would please like opinions about the site of The Stsrcross Racecourse. for his second book about the history of racecourses.. 

William has discovered that the 1863 course was on land in the occupation of John and Thomas Haydon of Staplake and 5 minutes from the station (in 1865). His research on Google Earth demonstrates that the area is " pretty flat " and he suggests that the course  would be 6 furlongs round, positioned as shown on this map. He asks "How does this seem to you?"
