Racing At Wolverhampton Racecourse

A superb Midlands venue, set in 22 acres of beautiful parkland, Wolverhampton Racecourse has a renowned reputation for year round racing. The unique and electric atmosphere of racing has enthralled punters and families alike for generations. The modern facilities at Wolverhampton are testament to the fact that racing can move with the times but retain the excitement of the sport.

The course at Wolverhampton has a Polytrack surface, and is one mile in circumference, with left-hand turns — giving it greater commonality with most racetracks found in the United States than with other venues in the UK. A very tight, oval track, nimble, handy types that can see out the distance go particularly well here.
