Carlisle Races

Carlisle Racecourse is a tough, year-round test for horses over jumps in winter and on the flat in summer. It is an undulating right-handed course of one mile and four furlongs, with an extremely testing uphill finish.

The most famous race run at the track is the Carlisle Bell, a handicap with a long history staged over a mile each June.

That gruelling uphill finish at Carlisle races places a premium on stamina, especially in winter when the going can be extremely heavy.

Carlisle Races Tips

Keith Dalgleish is a trainer to follow on the flat at Carlisle Racecourse, while Richard Fahey and Tim Easterby send out plenty of competitive runners here too.
Ben Curtis also has an excellent record in the saddle during the summer months, as does Paul Mulrennan.
Nicky Richards trains his jumpers reasonably nearby and has an impressive strike rate at his local track, while Brian Hughes has ridden a stack of winners at Carlisle races in recent seasons.
Multiple champion jump jockey Richard Johnson often makes the long trip north pay for his supporters, as does David Bass.
Carlisle is a track where it’s useful to be in a prominent position turning for home – it’s not an easy venue to win at with a hold-up horse.

Carlisle Races Behind Closed Doors

Carlisle 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 Carlisle races keen to welcome back punters as soon as it is safe to do so.

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