Sedgefield Race Results
Sedgefield is an integral part of the Northern National Hunt scene with 20 fixtures each season. They race here every month bar June and July and the biggest race in the calendar is the Durham National in late October. The race is the highlight of Durham National Family Fun Day on a Sunday.
It is a handicap chase over three miles and five furlongs and was won for three successive seasons by 1979 Grand National winner Rubstic (1978-1980). Another notable Sedgefield winner was 1968 Grand National winner Red Alligator who won the Durham National the previous season. Sedgefield also stages a Ladies’ Evening and a popular Boxing Day card.

Racecourse Guide
Sedgefield is a left handed, undulating track and arguably one of the easiest jumping tracks in the country. There is a three furlong home straight with an uphill finish but there is only a short run-in from the last. The track favours fast, accurate jumpers and produces plenty of course specialists. Fatehalkhair won 13 times here including the Durham National during his career between 1995 and 2004.
The course can become quite testing in soft ground and jockeys often bring their horses over to the stands’ side in search of better ground. This applies to both hurdles and chase races with the ground closest to the rail proving to be something of a golden highway.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Sedgefield is set in the Durham countryside and has a reputation as a relaxed and friendly family venue. The course offers a superb choice of hospitality packages including stylish dining at their Raceday restaurants, the Hoops Bistro and Silks Restaurant. Both provide excellent views of the racecourse with guaranteed seating and superb quality cuisine.
You can also reserve the exclusive hospitality experience in one of Sedgefield’s private boxes, complete with a dedicated host and a delightful buffet. You will also have access to all public areas. The course provides Marquee hospitality and themed packages on selected race days. There are other food and drink outlets around the racecourse to suit every budget.
The closest railway stations to the course are Darlington and Durham. Both are about twenty minutes’ away from the track by either taxi or bus which are readily available on race days.
