Uttoxeter Races

Uttoxeter Racing Tips

One partnership stands out as the team to follow at Uttoxeter races - trainer Dan Skelton and his jockey brother Harry Skelton. They have a superb record at the track in recent seasons.
Other trainers who record decent records at Uttoxeter Racecourse include Harry Fry, Dr Richard Newland and Nicky Henderson.
Aidan Coleman and Sam Twiston-Davies also ride this tricky track well. Judgment of pace is crucial at Uttoxeter because the sharp track favours front runners - but the home straight is long enough to allow horses to make up ground from the back.

The jockey's view

By Bryony Frost - Most successful female jump jockey in history

Uttoxeter Racecourse is a nice track that swings down into the home straight where it is relatively flat. Winners can come from anywhere! There's a little bit more time for a hold-up horse, especially when it gets a bit softer so you can take your time and move yourself through the pack. It’s a tricky start as you’ve got a sharp bend before the back straight. The chase track is relatively simple, the fences are inviting, with no downhill ones bar one, and even that's near enough level. That’s the only one where you may need to hold your horse’s hand.

Uttoxeter Races Behind Closed Doors

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

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