Bangor Races

Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse is a left-handed, sharp National Hunt horse racing venue near Wrexham in Wales. While there is also a Point to Point course here, the track is best known for jumps races under Rules.

Known as Bangor Racecourse for short, this flat course has a long run-in and a complete circuit is a mile-and-a-half round.

This is one of Britain’s more modest racing venues, but it does host a Listed novice chase for mares over two-and-a-half miles in November.

There are only two fences or hurdles jumped in the home straight of Bangor races, while the track is one of three main courses in Wales alongside Chepstow and Ffos Las.

The jockey's view

By Bryony Frost - Most successful female jump jockey in history

Bangor Racecourse is left-handed, flat and very simple. It’s nice for a novice or a horse who doesn’t have a lot of confidence because the fences aren't too big. You can see runners come from the front because it’s always on the turn, but it can get very soft in parts. A horse that likes soft ground and being out in front can do well here.

If you’re following a horse who has lost a bit of confidence recently then Bangor is a good place to see them go for a better round of jumping.

Bangor Racecourse Behind Closed Doors

Bangor races are currently being run behind closed doors because of the ongoing COVID-19 situation. This is set to be reviewed and updated in line with government advice, with Bangor Racecourse keen to welcome back punters as soon as it is safe to do so.

It’s still worth checking Bangor-on-Dee races fixtures because the decision to allow spectators in could change. If you book tickets to a Bangor Racecourse event that is then moved to behind closed doors, refunds will be processed through the official course website.
