Worcester meeting report — 21 October 2026
Worcester staged a competitive card on softening ground (GOOD TO SOFT, watered; 6.3) with Dan Skelton’s yard enjoying a productive afternoon. Standout performances included Albie Littlewood’s determined late surge in the Fred & Mercy Rimell Memorial Handicap Chase, Talk To The Man’s comfortable success in the beginners’ chase and a surprise 25/1 victory for Wispit Twob in the 16:35 handicap hurdle. Several tight finishes kept punters interested — Our Peggy just prevailed in the mares’ novices’ hurdle (Div I, short-head) while Modus Operendi and Kelijoe finished a matching 2 3/4 lengths behind the winner in the feature chase. The card also featured a number of non-runners and incidents: Goodbye Earl was withdrawn on veterinary grounds, Rose Of Knocknamoe and Square Du Roule fell during their races, and Jerseygeordie was declared unsuitable for the ground.
Meeting summary
The going favoured horses who travel well and can stay on strongly into the dip; several front-runners were caught late while held-up types produced emphatic late bursts. Connections will have noted the number of horses switching lines and the influence of jockeys taking up strong late drives — Harry Skelton featured prominently among the successful riders.

Worcester Race Results
Worcester is a National Hunt racecourse which currently stages around 20 meetings between April and October. Worcester was one of the pioneers of summer jump racing and highlights include the popular Ladies Day in June along with two Family Fun Days in June and September.
The venue also hosts summer evening racing and the Fixed Brush Series Final in late September. The series was introduced for trainers with potential chasers. Worcester used to stage the Valerie Lewis Memorial Chase in June, in honour of the late co-owner of three times Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Best Mate (2002-2004). She and her husband Jim lived in Worcester and the horse had a great local following.

Racecourse Guide
Worcester racecourse is situated by the east bank of the River Severn and has suffered badly from flooding in the past. The severe floods in 2007 led to the abandonment of all meetings here after the end of June. It is now established as a popular track for summer jumping and regularly provides competitive racing.
Worcester is one of the oldest racecourses in the country with horse racing first staged here in 1718. Flat racing was held here until 1966 with the likes of Fred Archer, Sir Gordon Richards and Lester Piggott all having ridden at the track.
It is a flat, left handed oval course of about 13 furlongs with nine fences to be jumped on each circuit. There are four fences in the long home straight but it is widely considered one of the easiest jumping courses in the country. Trainers love running their promising novices here to gain valuable experience. Notable past winners at Worcester include Morley Street and Iris’s Gift, the winners of the 1991 Champion Hurdle and 2004 Stayers’ Hurdle respectively.
