Newton Abbot Racecourse

Newton Abbot Racecourse - Running

The most westerly racecourse in Britain, Newton Abbot can be found mid-way between the popular seaside resorts of Exmouth and Torquay.

The course is a tight flat left-handed oval of about 1m1f. There are seven fences to a circuit and a very short run in. One of the friendliest tracks in the south. The chase course is very sharp (on the inside of the hurdles track) and previous winners here always command respect, though runners with form at similar tracks such as Fakenham and Stratford are also worth keeping an eye on.

An example of Newton Abbot’s unique nature is that the third last is the water jump – probably the most influential obstacle of its kind in British racing, and key in deciding the outcome of many of the races.
