Newbury Racecourse
FLAT: Left handed, galloping track. The straight mile at Newbury Racecourse is slightly undulating throughout. One of the fairest courses in the country, though its galloping nature makes it ideal for the big, long-striding type, and the track becomes testing in inclement weather.
NATIONAL HUNT: Left-handed, galloping with few undulations. One of the fairest courses in the country, though its galloping nature does suit the big, long-striding type. The chase course is regarded as being fairly stiff. Leaders are rarely overhauled on the chase run-in for all it often looks as though they might be, especially from the elbow.

Aidan Coleman
An awesome course that gives all types of horse a fair chance. It’s a huge, galloping track where there is always plenty of time to ride a race as you wish. It’s a great place for a big old-fashioned chasing type for these reasons. Two big long straights and well-presented fences are always a joy to ride on a good jumper. They are a fair test, the only slightly tricky one is the cross fence on the bottom bend. A huge home straight gives you plenty of time to ride a patient race.
