Stratford


Stratford‑upon‑Avon Racecourse lies just south of the town beside the River Avon, a compact National Hunt venue with a right‑handed circuit of about a mile and five furlongs. It has a long home straight and gentle bends that make it fair and galloping, with two tracks laid out side by side, the outer for steeplechases and the inner for hurdles. The turf drains well but can ride soft after heavy rain. Racing there dates back to the eighteenth century, though the modern course was established in the nineteenth. Meetings run from spring through autumn, including the Foxhunters’ Champion Chase in June and the Summer Cup in July. The setting is intimate and picturesque, with the spire of Holy Trinity Church visible beyond the trees and the river curving alongside the back straight, giving Stratford its reputation as one of the most scenic small jump tracks in Britain.
