Where Are The Racecourses?

thanks for trying Mel. But I'm totally lost now. There is no green road leading out of Kildare on the version I'm looking at.There is the M7 and a smaller road which runs parallel to it (orange).

The bit I was originally looking at is on the south side of the railway line, roughly halfway between Newbridge and Kildare?
 
If you do a search on Kildare it brings you to the wrong place. Try Cill Dara. If you follow the N/M7 east until you come to a clearish patch you'll see a little egg-on-its-side shaped thing a small bit north of the road, just to the east of that is the racecourse.
 
Here's something to do: find Longchamp, measure the 1400m course, and notice how it's short...
 
Check it is actually Longchamp. On my Google Earth I think they have actually marked the Auteuil course as Longchamp. Longchamp is the one across a bit nearer the river?

EDIT - actually I presume you spotted that and yes it does appear short.
