Salisbury Races Tips

Many leading stables see Salisbury races as an ideal place to introduce promising young horses to racing, which boosts the quality of races across the card.
Clive Cox has an eye-catching strike rate at Salisbury Racecourse, while Roger Varian does well with the horses he sends to Wiltshire. Sir Mark Prescott has also been known to target races at the track successfully.
Among jockeys, Oisin Murphy rides the course particularly well and David Probert has a very decent record here.

Salisbury Races Behind Closed Doors

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

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