Leicester Race Results

Leicester racecourse stages around 29 race meetings per year, 18 on the Flat and 11 over jumps. The King Richard III Cup, a handicap run over a mile in April, is the highlight of the flat racing season. It replaced the Listed King Richard III Stakes, a seven-furlong race last run in 2022. That race formerly held Group 3 status and was won three times by Warningford (1999, 2001 and 2002).

There is a Bank Holiday Fun Day at the end of May with regular evening flat meetings during the summer and a Sunday Family Fun Day in mid-August. There are plenty of competitive National Hunt events at the track including the Leicestershire Silver Fox Handicap Chase in December.

Racecourse Guide

Flat races up to seven furlongs at Leicester are staged on the straight course, which joins the main round track four and a half furlongs from the winning post. The oval track is right handed and about a mile and three-quarters round with a run in of over half a mile. The home straight climbs for two furlongs before levelling out for the final furlong and a half to the winning post.

When the going is soft it is an advantage to bring horses over towards the better ground under the stands’ rail. The uphill finish catches out runners that have raced too keenly in the early part of the race. The top flat stables like to run their late maturing two-year-olds here as they have plenty of time to find their stride in the home straight.

The hurdles races are run on the flat racing track which can often ride softer than the chase course. The fences are not as daunting as they once were at Leicester but they still take some jumping. It can be quite a tricky course for a novice chaser.

Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

Leicester racecourse provides hospitality from individual seats to conferences and events for up to 500 people. The track boasts the Nelson Suite Restaurant, an air-conditioned panoramic restaurant which offers comfort, style and luxury. The whole Nelson Suite can be hired exclusively on a raceday for up to 230 guests, with a three course formal meal or buffet and cheese board.

The course also invites bookings for their private executive boxes with excellent views of the racecourse. These include a host for the day, free parking and a two course buffet followed by a cheese board. The Paddock Pavilion is located on the spacious lawn overlooking the winners’ enclosure, and two Premier Rooms for up to 50 and 25 guests sit just below the Club Terrace, with its head-on views of the racing. Leicester Train Station is just two miles from the course with frequent bus and taxi services on race days.

Tickets

You can book your Leicester advance admission tickets online. You can also reserve your Restaurant package with additional special menus designed for children, both over and under the age of 13. Executive boxes can be booked for private groups, and minimum numbers apply.

The Effect of the Draw

There is a slight draw bias in favour of low numbers in races from six furlongs up to a mile at Leicester. There does not appear to be any discernible bias in five furlong races.
