Haydock Park Racecourse

Formally Haydock held a reputation of being a serious jumping test over fences, but things changed a few years back there and they now have portable fences which are a bit more forgiving and are positioned on their outer flat track. It’s basically a good, galloping track but with quite tight bends. As the season goes on through the winter the ground can undergo a massive change. It’s often very testing in winter for the Betfair Chase and conversely for the Swinton Hurdle in the spring the ground becomes quick and the track is suddenly a lot sharper, therefore suiting a variety of run styles
