Racecourse Guide
Recognised as the premier racecourse in Scotland and hosts regular flat and jump meetings. Its main highlights are the Scottish Grand National held in April and the Western Meeting on the Flat in September that features the Ayr Gold Cup. The left-handed course is approximately one and a half miles in circumference, and tends to suit long-striding gallopers, providing a searching test of stamina in rain-softened conditions.
