Stratford Race Results
Stratford in Warwickshire is one of the most popular summer jumping tracks with 17 meetings from mid-March through to early November. Horse racing was first staged in Stratford-on-Avon in 1755 on Shottery Meadow. The Stratford Foxhunters’ Champion Chase towards the end of May is regarded as the grand finale of the Hunter Chase season. The card also features the historical Garrick Jubilee Challenge Cup, the first major race held at Stratford.
The Stratford Summer Cup is over three miles and a furlong in July. There are also the popular Ladies’ Day and a special Family Day in the same month. The highlight of the September meeting is the George Pragnell Gold Cup, a handicap chase over two and three-quarter miles. Famous names to have won at Stratford include Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Silver Buck and Grand National winners Lottery and Don’t Push It.

Racecourse Guide
Stratford is a sharp, left handed track which favours horses that like to race up with the pace. The fences are not regarded as difficult and they usually go a good pace here so slick jumping is a definite advantage. There is only a short run-in of about 200 yards so jockeys tend to kick for home quite early.
Because of the nature of the track as a summer jumping venue, you find horses that have won on the flat often do well over hurdles here. It is certainly more suited to speed horses than late-maturing National Hunt-bred horses.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Stratford Racecourse offers a high quality range of dining options including entrance to the main enclosure, car parking, racecard and a welcoming glass of prosecco for full hospitality packages. You can book a three course menu with tea and coffee and exclusive table at the Paddock Pavilion and Gallery Restaurants.
Alternatively, you can reserve your own private box with a special drinks package. The summer racedays are very popular with families who are welcome to picnic in the centre of the racecourse. Dogs are allowed providing they are kept on a lead at all times. There are also food and drink outlets around the course including a covered seating area with mobile catering units.
Stratford-on-Avon Railway Station is on the Birmingham Moor Street Line. It is just a five minute taxi ride or twenty minute walk from the racecourse.
Tickets
You can book your Stratford admission tickets online. Centre course tickets take you right into the heart of the action and are very popular with families. The Main enclosure provides access to all public areas including the Champagne Bar and Gallery Restaurant. There are significant discounts on offer for group bookings of fifteen or more.
