Market Rasen: Summary of yesterday’s action (17 October 2026)

Market Rasen produced a busy card on good ground (good to soft in places) with several front‑running performances and a notable four-timer for jockey Sean Bowen. Olly Murphy’s stable also enjoyed a productive afternoon, saddling the early double, while Fringill Dike and The Egyptian Ginge both dictated terms to record convincing wins. There were a couple of non-runners (self-certificates for King Jon Oliver and Minella Crooner), a fall (Denemethy) and a pulled-up runner (Scorsese) who was examined by the vet post-race.

Key events and highlights

Hold The Throw kicked the day off for Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen, taking the Pertemps Network Maiden Hurdle readily, and Bowen was back in the winners’ enclosure soon after on Galway Reel in the handicap hurdle. Fringill Dike made all in the Jean & Paul Lucas Memorial Chase, asserting before 2 out to win easily, while The Egyptian Ginge set a steady tempo in the Pertemps Hurdle qualifier and held on well. Cap Ricochet and Nostrae De Cougny closed the card with determined victories — the former in the novices’ handicap chase and the latter in the ‘Junior’ NH Flat race. Connections will also note the mid-card incident where Denemethy fell at the eighth and Scorsese was pulled up and checked by the vet afterward; both were reported on in the stewards’ notes.

Racecourse Guide

Market Rasen’s excellent reputation as a friendly venue is well founded and their summer jumping fixtures are extremely popular. It is a right handed, sharp course of around a mile and a quarter. It tends to favour speedy horses that can lie up with the pace, particularly during the summer months on quicker ground.

There are three fences in the long home straight but it can be difficult to make up ground when horses quicken off the turn. The fences are not too testing and it is an ideal course for a novice. The Summer Plate became a Grade 3 handicap in 2020 and is now a Premier Handicap. Trainer Peter Bowen won it for a record eighth time when Francky Du Berlais won it for a second successive season in 2022, the first dual winner in the history of the event.

Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

Market Rasen offers a wide range of hospitality packages to suit every taste and budget. They range from reserving a table in Altior’s Restaurant to hiring a private box overlooking the racecourse. Altior’s Restaurant overlooks the pre-parade ring, racecourse and winners enclosure.

Hospitality menus range from a relaxed buffet to a multi-course formal lunch, and minimum numbers apply for private bookings. The private boxes offer views across the racecourse and are guaranteed to provide you and your guests with a great day’s racing in stunning surroundings; not every option runs at every meeting, so check the racecourse website for current packages. Food and drink outlets are available across all enclosures on the majority of race days.

Market Rasen is situated at the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Market Rasen Railway Station is just one mile from the racecourse with taxis readily available.
