Stratford-on-Avon Racecourse

A speed-orientated track, where things happen quickly and the jockeys normally get racing a fair way out. Normally, quick ground accentuates the track’s key elements, and the fences can become quite tricky for some horses. Its suits ex-flat horses here, who are quick over their obstacles and can quicken readily as and when required to do so. The water jump right in front of the stands provides a bit of a spectacle for racegoers, but jocks have to be mindful of bypassing it on the final circuit when it doesn’t get jumped.
