Bath — Meeting report (yesterday)
Yesterday’s Bath card, run on Soft ground (Heavy in places; 4.7), produced a handful of eye-catching performances despite a large number of non-runners and withdrawals. Roos Racing Rocket (11/1) made all to take the David Cole Memorial EBF Novice Stakes (Div I), while Seed (11/1) completed the double for the division on the card. Kaito (6/5) held on strongly in the Bath Luxury Toilet Hire Nursery and Newtown Duke (6/1) showed a clear uptick in form with connections reporting he had benefited from the drop back in trip. Several runners were withdrawn or declared non-runners on the day due to the testing ground and various veterinary/self-certification issues.
Key points
• Roos Racing Rocket led from the front and kept on inside the final furlong to upset the favourite-heavy line-up in the 12:42 novice (Division I).
• Seed led from 5f out and, despite running a little green when ridden, was well on top close home in Division II.
• Newtown Duke recorded a tidy success in the Thank You To Our Loyal Annual Members Handicap; his trainer reported that the drop back in trip appeared to have helped the gelding.
• The soft/heavy places going prompted a number of non-runners and withdrawals across the card.

Racecourse Guide
Set on a hilltop overlooking the famous Roman Spa town, Bath is a left-handed oval of about a mile and a half, with a long, turning home straight, and it favours runners that are able to gain a prominent, early position. Two other factors that can come heavily into play are the swirling gusts of wind and the stiff, uphill finish. A difficult track for runners, riders and punters, this challenge only adds to the character of the course. Bath is the highest Flat racecourse in Britain, at 780 feet above sea level, with no watering, so the ground tends to be very firm during dry spells.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
For a finer, premium experience there are multiple hospitality options available at Bath. These include The Roof Garden, The Paddock Pavilion and the Royal Crescent Restaurant. The latter offers a reserved table for the day, with a three-course à la carte menu.
For those wishing to have a more private dining experience, there is the option of the Private Boxes. All boxes offer unrivalled views, a buffet food service, hospitality admission and a private bar, as well as access to all public areas at the racecourse.
Tickets
There are three ticket options available at Bath racecourse:
- Centre Course & Picnic Enclosure. Only available on selected fixtures but allows you to drive your car into the middle of the racecourse and choose a spot to enjoy a picnic. Limited betting facilities and bars are available here too.
- Grandstand Enclosure & General Admission. Gives you access to the majority of the racecourse, including the paddock. Food outlets and bars are available, as well as betting facilities. Get close to the action, as you’re able to watch the racing along the final furlong of the track.
- The Roof Garden. Offers stunning views of the racecourse and is the luxury option for racegoers. Access to the Bottega Terrazza restaurant, which offers a delectable Italian dining experience, along with plenty of prosecco.
The Effect of the Draw
Low numbers are favoured in races of 1m as the start is on a chute and the course turns left most of the way, but the advantage is minimal. The draw rarely has an effect in sprints, although those drawn very high in big fields can find trouble.
