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 all-weather surface in 2016 as part of an £11 million redevelopment.
There 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 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 four-mile Eider Chase, particularly when the going is soft. The fences are tough but fair and trainers regard is at a suitable introduction for a novice.
