Newbury results — Wednesday 26 August 2026
Racing at Newbury on Wednesday was run on Good to Firm ground (watered; 6.2) and produced a string of front-running victories and a handful of incidents. Mobadir made all in the Pump Technology Nursery Handicap, Crusherman and Scythe both asserted from prominent positions in their maidens, and Lion Of Mali and Abundant produced determined finishing bursts in their handicaps. There were several non-runners and withdrawals (Regal Tiger withdrawn after being upset in the stalls; Saturn Star and Electric Dreams given veterinary/non-runner certificates; Letter To Hermione, Magnatura and Fans Favourite declared unsuitable for the ground), and Golden Oasis unseated when the saddle slipped early on.
Key events and winners
Mobadir (Ed Walker/Kieran Shoemark) led from the front and responded well when asked to keep on. Crusherman (Brian Meehan/David Egan) showed pace to make all in the 16:45 maiden despite wandering late. Scythe (Brian Meehan/Saffie Osborne) worked through on the far side to lead 2f out and go clear; Starburster (Richard Spencer/Saffie Osborne) edged left but held on to take the fillies’ heat. In the handicaps Abundant (Tom Ward/Sean Levey) and Lion Of Mali (James Fanshawe/David Egan) both finished strongly, while Magical Merlot (Ed Dunlop/David Egan) prevailed in the apprentice event after a sustained duel.

Racecourse Guide
A top-class Flat and National Hunt track, Newbury’s left-handed, galloping course provides a true test of stamina, particularly in wet conditions. The highlights of their National Hunt season include the Coral Gold Cup run at the end of November and the Betfair Hurdle, one of Europe’s richest handicap Hurdles, which takes place in February and is increasingly a springboard for live Supreme Novice Hurdle and Champion Hurdle candidates for the Cheltenham Festival the following month. On the Flat, the jewel in their crown is the Group 1 Qipco Lockinge Stakes in May. Newbury can also boast first-class facilities and a superb view of the whole track.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
For a finer, premium experience there are plenty of hospitality options available. There are three restaurants – Lounge 303, The Hennessy Restaurant and the Racegoers Restaurant.
If you’re part of a bigger group or are looking to host friends and family then there is also the option of a private box to hire. There are three different options to choose (Sprint, Hurdle and Chase), with prices ranging from £155 per person up for the Sprint, up to £235 per person for the Chase dining Experience. Each private suite option includes a minimum two course meal, Premier Enclosure ticket and coffee/tea included.
Tickets
There are two main enclosures you can get tickets for at Newbury, which are:
- Grandstand – Provides good views of the finishing straight and access to bookmakers, restaurants and bar facilities.
- Premier – Provides premium views of the racecourse and is based level with the winning post. Offers access to premium bars and restaurants, including the Champagne Bar.
The Effect of the Draw
On the straight course, runners drawn low in big fields generally struggle, whatever the going. When there are twenty or more runners, look first at those drawn fourteen and above. Cross out runners drawn in single figures when there are more than twenty runners in races of up to a mile (straight).
