Uttoxeter Racecourse

Uttoxeter Racecourse From The Air

Uttoxeter Racecourse Perfect for chase and hurdle meetings, a left-handed oval shaped course of one mile two and a half furlongs in circumference. The back ‘straight’ has a dog-leg to the right and is undulating as it rises over Clump Hill. The course continues with a downhill run around the far bend into the home straight.

The home straight of four furlongs is flat and galloping ensuring fair and competitive finishes to most races including the signature staying chases.

The Chase Course:
There are eight fences per circuit; four in the back straight and four in the home straight. The third last in the home straight is an open-ditch which is jumped at least twice in each race.

The Hurdle Course:
The hurdle course tends to benefit from good ground conditions throughout the season and runs to the inner of the steeple chase course. There are six flights of hurdles on each circuit with a minimum of ten flights jumped in each race.

For all enclosures they do not allow bare tops, ripped/torn jeans and football/rugby shirts.

Make every day a winner!
