Musselburgh Races

Musselburgh Racecourse, on the coast a few miles to the east of Edinburgh, is the second biggest course in Scotland after Ayr.

Flat and right-handed, it hosts both flat and jump racing around its sharp turns, making it ideal for the athletic, nippy horse rather than the big-striding type.

The drainage is excellent and the ground is rarely heavy. Its seaside setting and proximity to the city mean healthy crowds attend Musselburgh races all year round, especially for its biggest events, the listed Maggie Dickson Fillies’ Stakes and the Edinburgh Cup Handicap.

Musselburgh Racing Tips

  • Scottish trainer Keith Dalgleish sends plenty of runners to race on the flat at Musselburgh Racecourse but, while many of them win, his rivals Richard Fahey and Mark Johnston have a better strike rate. Danny Tudhope is the best jockey to follow on the level.
  • Dalgleish’s jumpers win with striking regularity, as do those sent out by Sandy Thomson. It’s always worth noting when Paul Nicholls sends horses on the long trek from the West Country; his winning percentage at Musselburgh races is impressive.
  • The prolific Brian Hughes has an excellent riding record at the course but William Kennedy, with far fewer mounts, has a comparable strike rate.

The jockey's view

Bryony Frost
By Bryony Frost - Most successful female jump jockey in history

A relatively flat, very sharp track. Musselburgh Racecourse always seems to hold quite good ground. It’s quick with the sand on the top bend before turning into the back straight. Chase and hurdle tracks swap round, but to ride you wouldn’t know that you crossed the two, it’s simple. You don’t see horses come from the rear of the field. It’s prominent and you get very tightly bunched until they swing in. Some leaders can get away if they get a decent lead and then it's hard to reel them in.
