Southwell results — Yesterday (18 June 2026)
Seven Tapeta races at Southwell provided a mix of surprises and routine victories. The big story was Dottie Diamond landing the 17:55 Classified Stakes at 25/1 with a late surge to lead inside the final furlong, while Centigrade and Town Queen both won readily in the novices, and Mountbatten — a short-priced favourite — made virtually all in the Lionel Henry James Memorial. J Street took the Fillies’ Handicap in the hands of Billy Garritty, Star Of Mali won the confined handicap, and Bone Marra closed the card with a determined late lead. There were a few non-runners and minor incidents: Bust A Moon pulled a shoe and was self-certified, Slalom was off feed, and Brunel Nation was declared a non-runner on veterinary/temperature grounds. Solid Bond was reported to have bled from the nose after finishing third in the fillies’ handicap. No races were declared abandoned.

Notable incidents: Bust A Moon pulled a shoe and was self-certified before running; Slalom was off feed and did not take part; Brunel Nation was declared a non-runner on veterinary/temperature grounds. Solid Bond was reported by the vet to have bled from the nose after her run. Connections and jockeys will no doubt assess recovery and targets for the coming weeks; Mountbatten and Town Queen look likely to be aimed at similar short-term targets given the manner of their victories.

Southwell Race Results
Southwell is one of the busiest racecourses in the country with around fifty flat meetings on the all-weather as well as National Hunt meetings on turf. The first official Southwell race meetings took place in the mid 1800’s at Burgage Green. Racing opened on the existing site in 1897 but the most significant landmark in Southwell’s history was the opening of the all-weather track in November 1989.
Southwell is part of the All-Weather Championship season which is made up of 200 fixtures during the winter months. The climax of the series is the £1 million All-Weather Championships which are held at Lingfield at Easter. The track does not boast any major meetings but Family Fun Day in July and Ladies Day in August are always popular.

Racecourse Guide
Southwell is a left handed, oval track of a mile and a quarter with a run-in of three furlongs. There is a chute at the end of the straight for five furlong sprint races. Southwell’s all-weather used to have a fibresand surface before switching to Tapeta in 2021. Tapeta is a mixture of sand, wax and fibre which is not as deep as fibresand and therefore creates less kick-back.
Southwell’s jumps turf track is on the outside of the turf course and tends to favour speed horses on good or fast ground. However, the reverse is true in soft ground when the combination of slower ground and stiff fences puts the emphasis on stamina.
Southwell has produced several course specialists including La Estrella who retired at the age of fifteen after winning 16 races here. Tempering who won a record 22 times here. Although he raced 127 times, he only won once away from his beloved Southwell when winning his maiden on turf.

The Effect of the Draw
A low to middle draw used to have an advantage in five furlong races on fibresand but this no longer seems to apply. It is possible to come from off the pace on the Tapeta surface with no discernible draw bias.
