Racecourse Guide
Catterick has a reputation for being one of the friendliest racecourses in the UK with a relaxed atmosphere. It is a sharp, left handed undulating track of just over a mile. It tends to favour smaller, well balanced horses that like to race up with the pace. Previous course form is definitely a positive factor at Catterick because the undulating surface does not suit every horse.
It can be difficult to make up ground here in both flat and jumps races. The fences are not particularly testing and the good drainage here ensures that most meetings are staged on decent ground. When the going is soft, jockeys usually bring their mounts over towards the stands’ rail in search of better ground.

The Effect of the Draw
Horses drawn low have an advantage in six furlong races at Catterick on good ground. However, this is reversed in soft ground when the favoured stands’ rail means it is a definite advantage to be drawn high.
