Nottingham produced a testing card on soft ground (heavy in places) yesterday with seven competitive events. Key winners included Campenaerts in the opener, Pole Star and Indhaar in the early afternoon, Royal Poetry and Ghost Story in the two divisions of the Conference & Events handicap, Venetian Lion in the Watch Racing TV Now Handicap (after Tex was declared a non-runner), and the long‑odds surprise of the day, Supreme Dancer, who came home at 25/1 in the finale.
Raceday summary
Soft, heavy-in-places underfoot conditions made for a stamina test and several front-running performances. Campenaerts (12:45) made all under Rob Hornby for Jonathan Portman, showing resolute tracking and determination to hold on. Pole Star (13:20) and Indhaar (13:50) both displayed pace and stamina to prevail in testing conditions, while Royal Poetry (14:20, Div I) and Ghost Story (14:53, Div II) took two competitive divisions of the Conference & Events handicap. Venetian Lion produced a clear, authoritative finish in the Watch Racing TV Now Handicap after an awkward start, and the day closed with a surprise as 25/1 Supreme Dancer asserted inside the final 110yds to win the last race.
Notable performances
– Campenaerts (Jonathan Portman / Rob Hornby) bounced back to form, pressing the pace and leading inside the final two furlongs to score.
– Indhaar (William Haggas / Cieren Fallon) overcame a keen early spell to lead and keep on under pressure.
– Venetian Lion (William Haggas / Cieren Fallon) was produced late to lead approaching the final furlong and quickened clear to win readily.
– Supreme Dancer (Richard & Peter Fahey / Ethan Tindall) provided the shock of the day at 25/1, coming from midfield to assert near the finish.

Nottingham Race Results
Racing at Nottingham was held on the Forest Recreation Ground for around two hundred years before the move to the current site at Colwick Park, where the first meeting took place in 1892. Nottingham originally hosted both flat and National Hunt racing but the last jump meeting was held in 1996. The venue now hosts 23 flat race meetings during the season.
There are two Listed races at Nottingham; the Nottinghamshire Oaks in April and the Robin Hood Stakes in October. Ladies Day in May attracted a record crowd in 2018 while the Colwick Cup in October is another highlight at the Midlands track. There are also well attended summer evening meetings and a season finale in November.

Racecourse Guide
Nottingham is a fair, left-handed track with easy turns and a long home straight of more than half a mile, although the turn into the straight is fairly sharp. The course suits well-balanced horses rather than big, long-striding types. There is also a six furlong straight course for sprint races.
Nottingham has long been regarded as an ideal track for inexperienced horses. Derby winner Slip Anchor won his maiden here in 1984 as did subsequent Fillies’ Triple Crown winner Oh So Sharp in 1984. 1999 Derby winner Oath also won here, all three being trained by Sir Henry Cecil.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Nottingham offers a wide range of hospitality packages to suit your requirements. The Sherwoods Restaurant boasts stunning views over the racecourse and a choice of two or three course meals with light afternoon tea. The Robin Hood Suite and the larger Centenary Suite can be hired for meetings, conferences and celebrations.
You can also choose from a selection of private boxes overlooking the racecourse; see the racecourse website for current packages. There are also various food and drink outlets around the racecourse.
Nottingham Station is two miles from the racecourse with frequent taxis available for the short journey on race days.
Tickets
You can book your Nottingham general admission tickets online. These include great views of the parade ring, racecourse and winner’s enclosure. There will be food and drinks concessions onsite. You can also reserve your hospitality package with full details on the website.
The Effect of the Draw
There is quite a sharp turn into the home straight so it is an advantage to be drawn low in races over a mile. High numbers are favoured on the straight six furlong course at Nottingham.
