Newcastle — All‑Weather (Tapeta) results (yesterday)
The Tapeta at Newcastle served up a full card of nine races on the standard surface. Key moments included Bragbor edging home in the opener for Richard & Peter Fahey and Oisin Orr, a clinical display by heavy favourite Endless Quest (1/10) in the fillies’ novice, and a notable long‑odds success from Eagle Storm (28/1) in the nursery after a non‑runner (Jaydee’s Dream) was declared out on the day with a lameness issue. Juvenile and nursery events produced several decisive wins (Bella Lucia and Royal Message among them), while the evening saw close finishes in the Midnite handicaps with Wise Crack and Kings Merchant taking the late divisions. Overall the meeting was run on TAPETA: STANDARD with a blend of expected favourites and a handful of surprises.

Newcastle Race Results
Newcastle stages more than 80 race meetings a year, making it one of the busiest racecourses in the country. It has an all-weather track for regular flat meetings and a turf track for top quality National Hunt racing.
The Northumberland Plate over two miles, known locally as the Pitmen’s Derby, takes centre stage in June. It is one of the most fiercely contested staying handicaps of the season. Other significant flat races at Newcastle include the Gosforth Park Cup, the Listed Burradon Stakes and the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes.
Over the jumps, the Fighting Fifth Hurdle takes place at the end of November and is the only Grade 1 event at the track. This has been won by many of the sport’s leading hurdlers including Night Nurse and Sea Pigeon. The Eider Chase in February is considered a Grand National trial and the last horse to go on to win at Aintree in the same season was Comply Or Die in 2008.

Racecourse Guide
Horse racing in the north east dates as far back as the early 17th Century. The inaugural Northumberland Plate took place at Town Moor in 1833 and was transferred to the current site at Gosforth Park in 1882. The flat turf track was replaced by a floodlit Tapeta all-weather surface in 2016 as part of an investment of nearly £12 million.
The all-weather track has a left-handed circuit of over a mile and a half and a straight mile. The round track has long sweeping turns so it is vital to get as close to the rail as possible or risk forfeiting a lot of ground.
The National Hunt course at Newcastle is a left-handed, galloping track with a long uphill finish. Stamina is the key factor in the staying chasers like the Eider Chase, run over 4m1f up to 2026 and about 3m6f from 2027, particularly when the going is soft. The fences are tough but fair and trainers regard it as a suitable introduction for a novice.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Newcastle offers top quality hospitality packages for all kinds of events including conferences, weddings and exhibitions. They provide a range of fantastic restaurants and suites as well as a marquee village and live entertainment.
The race day restaurant is in the Grade II Brandling House whereas the Border Minstrel is the ideal pub for friends and families. The course boasts 21 private hospitality boxes, each offering panoramic views of the racecourse. The marquee option can be customised to suit your requirements with exclusive packages available on selected race days.
Newcastle Central Station is only fifteen minutes from the racecourse. On selected feature days a shuttle bus runs from the Regent Centre and Four Lane Ends Metro stations, which are about two miles from the racecourse.
Tickets
You can book Newcastle race day packages and daily admission tickets online. A Grandstand admission ticket gives access to the Grandstand and the parade ring, so you can watch all the racing action, along with the public bars, eateries and betting outlets in the Grandstand. You can also book a 3 course meal at the Raceday Restaurant or choose from the private hospitality packages, which range from Classic box hospitality on regular race days to the Flat Cap, Fascinator and Top Hat packages on selected race days.
The Effect of the Draw
There is no significant draw bias on the straight course at Newcastle but a high draw can be a negative on the round course. Runners drawn wide in a large field concede a lot of ground to those racing on the inside.
