Extra Features in Our Racecourses Guides

A day at the races is a fantastic day out, but it’s also fun to back a winner or two. Some of our racecourse guides may be able to assist you, as they examine the differences and unique challenges of each horse racecourse. Some horses excel on flat, surfaced racecourses and galloping tracks, but find it more challenging on undulating or tight horse racing tracks in the UK.

The horse race course guides may therefore help you identify ‘horses for courses’ as the old saying goes!

Our horse racetrack guides may also identify which racecourses are more suitable for a particular type of horse.

Typically, the track and course aspect of the guides will look at:

  • Straight – indicates the length of the home straight.
  • Shape – describes the overall shape of the course, round, oval, square, figure 8, etc.
  • The direction – either left or right-handed bends.
  • Speed or Stamina required indicates the horse’s running style. On long, straight courses, “galloping types” with stamina often excel, whereas on courses with sharp bends, more speed is required.
  • Surface – describes whether the racecourse is turf or an artificial surface.
