There’s plenty of action to look forward to, on Wednesday, with racing taking place at Bath, Leicester, Lingfield and Sandown. There are a further 8 races at Catterick, starting with a 7f encounter for 2-year-olds at 2:00pm (GMT).
Racing At Catterick
Catterick Racecourse is located in the small village of Catterick Bridge, which can be found in the county of North Yorkshire (England). Races have been held here since 1783.
The race track at Catterick is left-handed. It is well-known for being sharp and undulating, so both the horse and jockey need to keep their wits about them. The course is a mile in length and ends with a run-in of 3 furlongs. The going is usually good at Catterick, as a gravel subsoil is in use.
Great Value For Money
If you are looking for a glamorous day out at the races, then Catterick is unlikely to be your first choice. This is very much a blue-collar venue, for no-nonsense racegoers looking for a cheap day out. Having said that, many people love Catterick, finding it both welcoming and unpretentious.
A Busy Calendar
Some very good horses have run at Catterick Racecourse. Famously, Collier Hill bagged the first of many victories here, back in 2002. It is also a very busy course, with no fewer than 27 race days each year. Not one month in the year goes by, without a meeting taking place at this facility.
The action is a mixture of National Hunt and flat racing. Events begin as early in the year as New Year’s Day. The last day of racing is on December 28th. While other courses may overshadow Catterick, in terms of pomp and ceremony, few can match it in terms of hard work and devotion to the sport.
Catterick Racecourse’s easy-going atmosphere makes it a great day out for those on a budget. However, hospitality packages are available, if you want to push the boat out a bit. Whether you are just buying standard admission tickets, or hiring a corporate box, you will find that the staff are very friendly and down to earth.
