Hexham — Results summary (yesterday, 20 October 2026)
Yesterday at Hexham produced a busy five-race card. The going started as GOOD (Watered; 6.7) and was reported to be changing to GOOD (Good to soft in places) after Race 1 (2.01). The Skeltons partnered Tralee Girl to success in the mares’ novices’ hurdle, while Lucinda Russell’s team enjoyed a productive day with Kool Raoul and C’Mon So both scoring. There were a number of non-runners and incidents: Kamille Au Kanada was withdrawn on veterinary grounds (swelling), Bryson declared non-runner with an abscess, Luminaries ruled out because of unsuitable ground, Les’s Legacy unseated early after a bad mistake, and Lights Are Green was pulled up after weakening late.

Tralee Girl (Dan & Harry Skelton) led late to win the opening mares’ novice hurdle, Biglesisback staying on for second. Littletown Lad (Sam & Jonathan England) produced a decisive finish to take the Sky Sports Racing handicap, while Kool Raoul (Lucinda Russell & Derek Fox) made all despite being hampered by a loose horse earlier. Robert d’Ores (George & Jonathon Bewley) led home the following handicap and C’Mon So (Lucinda Russell & Patrick Wadge) produced a strong late move to land the feature chase.

Racecourse Guide
Hexham Racecourse is high on the Northumberland moors, just south of Hadrian’s Wall and around 800 feet above sea level. It is a left-handed, undulating track of about one and a half miles. There is a steep climb from the end of the back straight to the finishing line with only a short run-in after jumping the last.
The fences are not regarded as being difficult with ten jumps on each circuit. The biggest factor to consider at Hexham is the ground as it can get very testing here. In soft or heavy ground, it can be an exhausting climb back up to the winning post.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Hexham must rate as one of the most picturesque racecourses in the UK with the surrounding hills forming a natural amphitheatre. There are a range of hospitality packages on offer including the Henderson Suite with its own bar and stunning views of the track. It overlooks the parade ring and winners’ enclosure, an idyllic setting in which to enjoy your four course carvery buffet.
The Curlew Room also provides panoramic views of the racecourse and includes club enclosure entry and a private table for the day. You can purchase food and drink from the snack menu which typically features a hot dish and pies. Hexham’s private boxes serve everything from finger buffets to four course carvery buffets with optional afternoon tea. The Enderby, Patterson and Gill Boxes are on the top floor of the Ramshaw Stand and can each accommodate from 20 to 24 guests.
Hexham Racecourse is at High Yarridge in Northumberland. Hexham Railway Station is just two miles from the racecourse on the Newcastle upon Tyne to Carlisle line. A free shuttle bus service operates on all race days.
