Racecourse Guide

Market Rasen’s excellent reputation as a friendly venue is well founded and their summer jumping fixtures are extremely popular. It is a right handed, sharp course of around a mile and a quarter. It tends to favour speedy horses that can lie up with the pace, particularly during the summer months on quicker ground.

There are three fences in the long home straight but it can be difficult to make up ground when horses quicken off the turn. The fences are not too testing and it is an ideal course for a novice. The Summer Plate was upgraded to Grade 3 status in 2020. Trainer Peter Bowen won it for a record eighth time when Francky Du Berlais won it for a second successive season in 2022, the first dual winner in the history of the event.

Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

Market Rasen offers a wide range of hospitality packages to suit every taste and budget. They range from reserving a table in Altior’s Restaurant to hiring a private box overlooking the racecourse. Altior’s Restaurant overlooks the pre-parade ring, racecourse and winners enclosure.

The Premier Experience includes a table for the day, three course a la carte meal and full afternoon tea. The private boxes are available at all meetings and are guaranteed to provide you and your guests with a great day’s racing in stunning surroundings. They all feature their own private balconies, a suite host and TV for viewing the action throughout the day. Food and drink outlets are available across all enclosures on the majority of race days.

Market Rasen is situated at the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Market Rasen Railway Station is just one mile from the racecourse with taxis readily available.

You can book Market Rasen tickets online with a choice of three enclosures. The Lawn Enclosure is ideal if you are planning a fun family out and you can bring your own picnic while the children enjoy the playground.

The County Enclosure has several bars and eateries in a friendly atmosphere with access to the Tattersalls and Lawn Enclosure.
