Station layout
Racecourse has one island platform. Unlike at other MTR stations, trains can arrive at either platform regardless of direction, so passengers need to follow directions of MTR staff and the electronic displays for the direction of trains. Both directions usually have a headway of 10–15 minutes.
The station does not have escalators or lifts. Wheelchair users can only use a stair lift to access the station after calling a member of staff for assistance.
Entrances/Exits
There are three footbridges that link the platform to the station concourse near the grandstand. There are no other entrances to access the station.
