Racecourse Guide
All flat races up to one mile at Leicester are staged on the straight course which joins the main round track at the five-furlong pole. The oval track is right handed and nearly two miles in circumference with a run in of over half a mile. There is a gradual climb in the home straight during the last two furlongs 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 an air-conditioned panoramic Club Restaurant which offers comfort, style and luxury.

These include a host for the day, designated free parking and a two course buffet and afternoon tea. The Paddock Pavilion is located on the spacious lawn overlooking the winners’ enclosure and the refurbished Club Room caters for up to 120 guests with amazing head-on views of the racing.

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.
