Racecourse Guide

Uttoxeter has re-invented itself in recent years as one of the UK’s most progressive tracks, with the Midlands National Meeting in March attracting many top-class performers. Uttoxeter is a sharp, left handed track of just over a mile and a quarter. There is a slight incline on the far side of the track before the runners swing downhill into the four furlong home straight.

The Midlands Grand National is over four and a quarter miles, one of the longest races in the calendar. The course can favour front-runners on good or fast ground but it becomes a gruelling stamina test in soft or heavy ground. It is not unusual for only a handful of Midlands National horses to complete the course in testing conditions. The 2019 renewal was won by the mud-loving Potters Corner. Uttoxeter attracts many of the top stables, particularly for the big March meeting, and is a standing dish of the national hunt season.

The Uttoxeter Summer Cup takes place on a Sunday in late June or early July. It was formerly over four miles and run as the Summer National but the distance was reduced and the race rebranded in 2012. Other popular race days include the Summer Ladies Day in July, a Winter Ladies Day in January and themed Family Fun Days.

Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

Uttoxeter boasts a superb range of hospitality packages. All hospitality suites enjoy spectacular views of the action including the 1907 Restaurant which has floor to ceiling windows. Various packages are available, all including top quality cuisine.
