Windsor Racecourse


Flat racing takes place at Windsor 26 times a year from April to October. In the summer, regular Monday evening fixtures and theme nights attract large and enthusiastic crowds, and you can even travel to the racecourse by riverboat.

One of only two figure-of-eight courses in the United Kingdom, Windsor Racecourse is a unique and demanding track that requires a special kind of horse to take the win -it tends to play into the hands of the well-balanced, nimble type with stamina more than strength ruling this track.
