Market Rasen Racecourse
Located in stunning rural surroundings of Lincolnshire, Market Rasen Racecourse is a venue beloved by local racing enthusiasts, who make up a significant portion of its loyal fanbase.
Market Rasen is right-handed and sharp, with minor undulations. The course generally favours nippy types (though the ground can get testing), with plenty of races being won by those who quicken on the run to the first obstacle in the home straight.
Due to the shape and design of the track, this racecourse favours horses that are quick and agile thanks to its sharp corners. Amongst the high-quality races at Market Rasen is the Summer Plate Handicap Chase, renowned for the beautiful French-bred horse Alcala snapping up £50,000.

A quick track and home to some of summer jumping’s highlights, including the Listed Summer Hurdle and Summer Plate Chase. These often favour good ground ex-Flat horses who are well handicapped, Strong travellers find life a lot easier. When the field sling-shot off the final bend and down into the home straight they really quicken away off the front end and, as its flat, they don’t stop. A gear change is imperative here. The Fences are fair, although the first in the straight can prove the trickiest.
