Warwick – Stats & Pointers

Below are the key course-level stats pulled from recent form — horses, trainers and jockeys listed here have shown notable performance at or around Warwick and are worth extra attention on today’s card.

Horses To Note

  • Kentucky River — 1 run, 1 win (100%); placed 1/1; prize money: £4,752.90. Perfect record here (limited data) — for small fields this one can be favoured if repeats winning form.
  • Old Clayesmorian — 1 run, 1 win (100%); placed 1/1; prize money: £2,178.40. Unexposed and effective on this course; keep an eye if conditions suit.
  • In This World — 4 runs, 1 win (25%), 2 places (50%); prize money: £6,931.43. Shows consistency to finish in the places and useful each-way claims.
  • Bahtiyar — 6 runs, 0 wins, 2 places (33.33%); prize money: £4,700.37. Regularly in the mix without converting to victory — likely to be competitive for place money.
  • A Good Yomp — 2 runs, 0 wins, 1 place (50%); prize money: £1,282.88. Lightly raced and capable of a placing with the right race shape.

Trainers To Note

  • Max Comley — 5 runs, 2 wins (40%), 3 places (60%); prize money: £6,416.20. Strong strike-rate locally; his runners are worth taking seriously, particularly in small-field handicaps.
  • Linda Blackford — 4 runs, 1 win (25%), 1 place (25%); prize money: £6,021.20. Decent returns from a small sample — watch market confidence.
  • Jamie Snowden — 42 runs, 9 wins (21.43%), 23 places (54.76%); prize money: £95,171.16. Consistently competitive; Snowden’s runners often run to form here.
  • Dan Skelton — 348 runs, 71 wins (20.4%), 159 places (45.69%); prize money: £896,273.54. High-volume, high-quality operation — always a major factor at Warwick.
  • James Owen — 25 runs, 5 wins (20%), 13 places (52%); prize money: £42,018.14. Good place strike-rate; his horses handle similar tracks well.

Jockeys To Note

  • Conor O’Farrell — 7 rides, 2 wins (28.57%), 4 places (57.14%); prize money: £50,088.70. High conversion rate from a small number of rides — worth following.
  • Harry Skelton — 231 rides, 56 wins (24.24%), 117 places (50.65%); prize money: £735,978.77. Productive operator with excellent record; big influence on chances when booked.
  • Harry Cobden — 56 rides, 13 wins (23.21%), 23 places (41.07%); prize money: £99,221.98. Reliable and frequently lands strong rides at this track.
  • Sean Bowen — 92 rides, 19 wins (20.65%), 46 places (50%); prize money: £156,360.36. A consistent performer in the plate — often finds the frame.
  • Toby McCain-Mitchell — 10 rides, 2 wins (20%), 6 places (60%); prize money: £27,936.69. Small sample but strong place strike-rate — useful in close handicaps.

Pointers: watch for lightly raced winners (Kentucky River, Old Clayesmorian) and for runners from Max Comley or Dan Skelton’s yards — both trainers produce ready-to-run types here. Jockey bookings from Harry Skelton, Harry Cobden and Conor O’Farrell are significant positive indicators.

Warwick Race Results

Warwick has staged only National Hunt racing since 2014 and currently hosts 18 fixtures between September and May. The big races on the Warwick calendar are the Kingmaker Novices’ Chase and the Warwick Classic Chase. The Kingmaker Novices’ Chase takes place in February and is a significant trial for the Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Edwardstone won both races in 2022 for Trainer Alan King and jockey Tom Cannon.

The Classic Chase is a Premier Handicap over an extended three miles and five furlongs in January. It is the natural successor to the original Warwick National Chase and is a recognised trial for the Grand National at Aintree. One For Arthur won both races for Scottish trainer Lucinda Russell in 2017. The card used to feature the Grade 2 Leamington Novices’ Hurdle, which was won by Inglis Drever and The New One before the race was discontinued.

GG provides detailed Warwick race results as quickly as possible. The winner, placed horses and SP returns are published as soon as the weigh in is confirmed. This is updated with the complete finishing order and Tote returns which can be accessed by clicking on each race title.

Racecourse Guide

Warwick Racecourse is a left-handed and mostly flat circuit of just under 1m 6f. There is a fairly steep incline after the winning line which descends into the long back straight. There is a short run-in of just over a furlong after the final obstacle.

The course is tighter than it appears and tends to favour horses that like to race up with the pace. Ex flat racers do particularly well on the hurdles track. On the chase course, there are five fences in quick succession in the back straight but the fences are among the easiest to jump in the country.

Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

There are several hospitality packages on offer at Warwick, all offering a lavish dining experience with excellent views of the race track. The Premier Hospitality package includes a three-course a la carte meal, full afternoon tea and a private balcony overlooking the winning line. Packages are available at the 1707 Restaurant, Paddock Pavilion Restaurant and the Kingmaker Suite.

Private Boxes are available to hire for first class hospitality, perfect for entertaining clients, colleagues or celebrating a special day. These range from the Classic or Premier to the luxurious VIP experience. Corporate Hospitality packages are offered at the 1707 Restaurant with something to suit every need and budget.

The closest railway stations are Warwick or Warwick Parkway and both are only a short walk or taxi ride from the racecourse.
