Newbury — Yesterday’s Results (Good to Soft)
Newbury’s card yesterday ran on Good to Soft ground (4.3) and produced a mixture of tight finishes and a couple of surprise winners. The day was highlighted by Zarakerjack edging out Spirits Bay in the OLBG Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle, while Masaccio scored at big odds in the Pertemps qualifier. A short withdrawal (Doughmore Bay) was declared unsuitable for the ground in the Pertemps race.
Key events and takeaways
Zarakerjack (4/1) showed dogged determination to get up in the final strides after being held up and switched late; Spirits Bay narrowly missed by a head. In the CSP Maiden Hurdle Dan Skelton’s Presley (85/40) finished strongly to win ‘going away’ and looked promising. Royal Response justified favouritism in the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle, travelling well and running on to win readily. The Pertemps Network Handicap saw a shock as Masaccio returned at 33/1, staying on strongly to win. Coolnav made all in the Novices’ Hurdle, while the two National Hunt Flat divisions were taken by Wordfromhome and Radiant Walk respectively — Wordfromhome leading from the front, Radiant Walk coming from rear to lead late.
Notable non-runner: Doughmore Bay was declared unsuitable for the ground and did not take part in the Pertemps qualifier.

For trainers and connections, the conditions allowed both front-runners and late-runners to prevail during the card — whether making all as Coolnav did or producing a late surge like Presley and Radiant Walk. The Pertemps qualifier produced the day’s biggest-priced winner in Masaccio (33/1), while the closest finish came in the opener where Zarakerjack prevailed by a head.

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 William Hill Hurdle (formerly 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 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 suite in the Berkshire Stand, with your own balcony and bespoke service, or one of the 1905 Booths for groups of six or eight. See the racecourse website for current packages and prices.
Tickets
There are two main enclosures you can get tickets for at Newbury, which are:
- Grandstand – Open on weekend racedays and selected Fridays. Provides good views of the finishing straight and access to bookmakers, restaurants and bar facilities.
- Premier – Open on all racedays. Provides premium views of the racecourse and is based level with the winning post. Offers access to premium bars and restaurants. On selected racedays you can upgrade to Premier Plus, which adds the Sky Sports Racing Lounge, or Top Tier, which includes a reserved table in the Racegoers’ Restaurant.
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).
