Wolverhampton (Tapeta) — Summary of yesterday’s action

On Wednesday at Wolverhampton (TAPETA: STANDARD) a string of prominent performances shaped the card. Rogue Invincible held on by a nose from Asuka in the 17:10 Novice Stakes after switching right and taking the lead inside the final furlong, while Fuseboard made all in the 17:40 Classified Stakes to win comfortably. Reds And Wolves won the 18:10 handicap with a sustained finish, Ignition scored at 18:40 despite being slowly away (14/1), and Nutcracker overcame a hampered start to take the 19:10 division. Tomarlo and Walking On Clouds both made virtually all in their respective handicap divisions. The evening concluded with V Power (20:40) gamely prevailing, edging out The Craftymaster.

There were a number of non-runners and withdrawals affecting the fields: Rua Mor (self certificate), Chiedozie (travel problems), Celebrating Ethel (self certificate, off feed), Kessaar Power (travel problems), The Fixer (vet’s certificate) and Crown Dreams (self certificate, coughing). The Tapeta surface again appeared to favour horses racing on or near the lead, with several winners dictating or racing prominently before fending off challengers inside the final furlong.

Racecourse Guide

Wolverhampton racecourse has been redeveloped into an exciting leisure venue hosting a remarkable eighty fixtures each year. The Lady Wulfruna Stakes is the most valuable race staged at the course, a fast-track qualifier for the All-Weather Championships. It guarantees the winner a free entry for the £1 million Finals Day.

The course was re-opened as Britain’s first floodlit racecourse in 1994 and now welcomes 120,000 visitors each year. Wolverhampton was also the first Tapeta surface to be used for racing in Europe. The racecourse is left handed and one mile in circumference. It is a very tight, oval track which favours nimble horses which like to race prominently.

Wolverhampton also favours course specialists, notably Stand Guard who won eleven times here and a record 28 times on the all-weather. His career began in 2007, eventually claiming his final victory as a thirteen-year-old ten years’ later.

Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

Wolverhampton boasts an impressive array of facilities. As well as having plentiful bars and restaurants, it also has an onsite hotel and a busy conference and exhibition centre. There are a range of hospitality packages on offer with fantastic views across the track. Wolverhampton’s Horizon Restaurant is set over three tiers of a stunning glass-fronted building while the Ringside Restaurant is a popular 400-seat dining area adjacent to the Parade Ring.

There are frequent trains to Wolverhampton Train Station from London, Birmingham and Manchester. The station is two miles from the track with frequent buses on all race days.

Tickets

Tickets can be booked in advance online, ranging from Grandstand Advance booking to Private Hospitality with the Break Out of the Boardroom package. The Grandstand booking includes access to public parks, eateries and betting outlets with views of the pre-parade ring, parade ring and of course the racing itself. The Private Hospitality packages are for groups of 12 to 32 and include a private suite with balcony views, private bar and afternoon tea.

The Effect of the Draw

Although Wolverhampton is a sharp track with a relatively short home straight, there is no discernible draw bias. If you are concerned about a high draw, you can usually predict where the early pace is likely to come from by studying the traits of your horse’s rivals.
