Market Rasen Races

Market Rasen Racecourse is typical of the friendly local jump racing tracks that exist across the UK.

At only one mile and two furlongs, it is a small, right-handed circuit with some undulations and fences that represent a fair test of a jumper.

Although there is racing all year round at Market Rasen, the Lincolnshire track has become particularly popular for its summer racing days.

The Summer Hurdle and the Summer Plate are run in July and are two of the most prestigious summer races staged in Britain. They attract runners from leading yards and healthy crowds lured by the opportunity to mix a sunny day out with quality jump racing.

Market Rasen Races Tips

Dan Skelton is the leading trainer at Market Rasen races and he sends squadrons of runners to the track from his Warwickshire stable.
As a result, his jockey brother Harry Skelton also has an excellent record at the track. Aidan Coleman is the other man in the saddle to follow here.
Sam Twiston-Davies and Paddy Brennan have strike rates that indicate they ride Market Rasen Racecourse well, while runners trained by Dr Richard Newland and Nicky Henderson also merit respect.
The sharp nature of the circuit means nippy types are favoured; many races are won by a horse that can quicken early in the home straight.

The jockey's view

By Bryony Frost - Most successful female jump jockey in history

Market Rasen Racecourse is quite a deceiving track and requires a lot of stamina. It's sharp, right-handed and with a very subtle hill to it coming up to the home straight. Even though it looks sharp it actually takes a lot of stamina. Jumping down the back straight for chases it is quite quick, it slightly deepens downhill and then flattens out. You can get all sorts of ground there, from good to soft.

Market Rasen Races Behind Closed Doors

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

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