Newcastle results — Saturday 31 July 2026
Key events and winners
Tapeta at Newcastle produced a busy card on Saturday (Tapeta: Standard to Slow) with several decisive finishes and two non-runners. Wicklow Way kicked the day off in style, Sonic Angel held off a determined Siouxperb in the novice stakes and Ned Broy landed the competitive 15:20 quinnbet.com Handicap. Houndhill took the 15:55 contest after Sunlit Sea was declared a non-runner. Bryan Smart’s yard supplied Jamaican Storm in Division I of the Extra Place Handicap while Ray Craggs’ Coramento won Division II — Oisin Orr enjoyed a productive day, riding multiple big-race successes and placings. Asadjumeirah rounded the card with a late surge to win the closing Classified Stakes; Uncle Sam was a non-runner following an allergic reaction. Several races were run to close margins, giving the crowd some fine last-furlong drama.
Notable notes
Sunlit Sea was withdrawn from the 15:55 with a trainer declaration of “off feed”; Uncle Sam was declared non-runner after an allergic reaction. Oisin Orr rode two winners (Jamaican Storm and Coramento) and added further placed rides during the afternoon. Jack Garritty, Jack Mitchell and Mark Winn all produced timely finishing rides on the card.

Racecourse Guide
Known locally as Gosforth Park, Newcastle provides a high standard of action under both codes. The Flat course with its uphill rise of four furlongs makes this one of the stiffest tracks in the country and the highlight of the season is undoubtedly the Northumberland Plate in June – a fiercely battled staying handicap.

The Effect of the Draw
There seems to be a slight bias towards high drawn stalls in sprints, but over the 7f and 1m straight course there is plenty of time for horses to get themselves sorted out and galloping, so the draw isn’t as big a deal.
