Tips for Catterick Races
Catterick racecourse – also known as Catterick Bridge racecourse – is located in Yorkshire, right next to the River Swale and the A1 motorway. Racing was first held here in 1783, and it hosts both Flat racing through the summer and National Hunt races in the winter.
Course: Both types of courses follow the same tight oval layout. The undulating track and very sharp bends favour front runners, while the gravel subsoil means the ground rarely gets too soft. Our Catterick tips often look for previous course winners who have shown an ability to act here.
Plans for an All Weather track and changes to the layout of the jumps track were approved in 2015, but with the development of the All Weather track at Newcastle those plans appear to be on hold.
Draw Bias: Over the sprint distances, there has historically been a slight bias towards lower drawn runners.
Feature Race: The North Yorkshire Grand National is the yearly feature race; a competitive Class 3 handicap run over three miles and six furlongs which we will have tips for every year..
