Worcester: Race Report and Key Events (yesterday)
The Worcester card produced a handful of decisive performances and several notable incidents. Song Of The Stars (1/6) made short work of the juvenile fillies’ hurdle, cruising clear, while Gavin Sheehan enjoyed a productive day with a treble that included Joyau Allen (12:10) and Johnny’s Jury (13:20). There were also worrying moments: Kiwi Rush fell heavily 2 out in the 13:55 novices’ handicap chase, Keep Star was subsequently reported to have bled from the nose and several runners were pulled up after jumping errors. The concluding 15:40 Novices’ Hurdle was taken readily by Herbygoesbananas (5/1), the latest winner on the card.
Race day highlights
Gavin Sheehan rode three winners — Joyau Allen, Johnny’s Jury and Red Moon’s second place gave the yard a strong overall day. Jamie Snowden saddled two winners (Joyau Allen, Johnny’s Jury). Upsets of note included Sweeper System at 33/1 taking the 13:55 chase and Sam Allwood’s stable enjoying a big moment. There were safety concerns in the chases: a heavy fall for Kiwi Rush (fell 2 out) and the veterinary report that Keep Star bled from the nose led to that gelding being pulled up. A non-runner/certification note applied to Captain Bellamy (self certificate) in the 12:45 contest.

Overall, Worcester saw a mix of authoritative wins from heavy favourites and a couple of surprise stakes — most notably Sweeper System at 33/1 — combined with a handful of worrying jumping incidents in the chases. Connections and jockeys will be assessing a number of the pulled-up and fallen horses in the coming days.

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.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Worcester racecourse is also a venue for conferences and events and offers an exceptional range of packages across their hospitality suites. The racecourse is in an idyllic setting with views of the city, the river and right across the race track.

These include the Severn Restaurant on the second floor of the Grandstand with table seating available for parties from 2 to 12. Multiple adjacent tables can be booked for larger parties.
