Hexham Races

Hexham Racecourse is a left-handed, oval-shaped British horse racing venue in Northumberland, west of Newcastle, in the northeast of England.

An infamously undulating track, horses face a gruelling climb out of the back straight until the home turn which puts an emphasis on stamina. There is a short run-in of about 250 yards from the final fence and hurdle to the winning post.

Given how severe the course is, Hexham races are National Hunt events only, with no flat action. A full lap of the track is about a mile-and-a-half.

Nicky Richards, whose stables are near Penrith in Cumbria, posted the best average with 33 per cent of his runners delivering.

Hexham Racecourse Behind Closed Doors

Hexham 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 Hexham Racecourse keen to welcome back punters as soon as it is safe to do so.

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