Today's Yarmouth Tips, Racecards And Results
Yarmouth — 20 October 2026 results
Yarmouth encountered soft ground throughout (SOFT 4.6) and produced a string of decisive finishes. Noble Guest produced a stirring late rally to win the 13:20 Apprentice Handicap under Connor Planas, while David Egan enjoyed a productive afternoon, notably taking the fillies’ maiden with Marylebone and adding a tidy success on Wodao later in the card. There were a couple of non-runners: Usaylah was withdrawn after being upset in the stalls, while Shining Guest and Snuggle were declared non-runners on veterinary/self-cert grounds.
Standout performances included Wodao’s easy success in the 16:38 division and Bumaan’s comfortable finish in the 15:28 handicap. Marching Mac and Rory’s Royale both prevailed in close finishes, emphasising how the testing surface produced competitive, gritty performances right through the card.

Yarmouth Race Results
Yarmouth stages 24 days of flat racing in 2026, from April through to October. The highest rated race at the course is The John Musker Fillies’ Stakes, a listed race over ten furlongs. This is the highlight of the three-day Eastern Festival meeting in September. Yarmouth also holds four very popular summer evening meetings which are often followed by live music events.
Racing at Great Yarmouth can be traced back to 1715 while the first official thoroughbred race meeting took place in 1810 on the South Denes. The venue moved to the North Denes after the First World War with the two grandstands being carefully dismantled and rebuilt. Although Yarmouth is lacking in notable races, it often attracts high class juveniles. Dubai World Cup winner Dubai Millennium made his racecourse debut here while Ouija Board also won a Yarmouth maiden on her way to becoming a seven times Group 1 winner.

Racecourse Guide
Yarmouth is a left handed track of about a mile and five furlongs with a long home straight of five furlongs. It also has a straight mile course. The Racecourse underwent extensive work over the winter of 2014-15, when the straight course was stripped and re-levelled, with remedial work continuing into 2016. Ridges had developed over time but these have been eradicated and it is now regarded as one of the best straight mile courses in the UK.
The turns are fairly sharp here but the long home straight means there are very few hard luck stories at Yarmouth. That makes it an ideal place to introduce well-bred maidens from the powerful Newmarket stables nearby.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
There are several hospitality options at Yarmouth from stylish restaurant dining to private suites or summer marquees. The Trafalgar Restaurant is situated in the Lord Nelson Grandstand and offers first class cuisine in luxurious surroundings with stunning views of the track.
There are Flat Cap, Fascinator and Top Hat hospitality packages available in Yarmouth’s private suites and boxes. Each comes with a dedicated host, sumptuous buffet and access to all public areas. Afternoon Tea Private Box packages are available on selected race days. Exclusive Marquee Packages are also available on selected race days during the summer.
Yarmouth racecourse is one mile north of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. Great Yarmouth Railway Station is just one mile from the racecourse and is on mainline routes via Norwich.
Tickets
You can book your Yarmouth admission tickets online with discounts for groups of 10 or more booked together. You can book a special 3 day pass for the Eastern Festival in September as well as reserve your hospitality packages.
The Effect of the Draw
The course used to struggle with off-shore winds disrupting its watering, which could create a draw bias in five furlong sprints that changed with the going. Since a new watering system was installed there no longer seems to be much in the draw, and there is no discernible draw bias at any distance beyond five furlongs at Yarmouth.
