Tips for Plumpton Races
Plumpton Racecourse is one of the smallest National Hunt tracks in the UK that we have tips for and is situated in the village of the same name in East Sussex. It holds it’s place in the history books as the course where Sir Anthony McCoy rode his 3,000th winner aboard Restless d’Artaix on 9th February 2009.
Course: Just over a mile round, speedy types are suited by the sharp turns and undulations. There are 6 fences on each circuit that can be quite difficult, so we need our tips to be good jumpers. The hurdles track is outside of the chase track but both share the same uphill finish.
Feature Race: The Sussex National in January, worth almost £20,000 to the winner, is the main event. Over a distance of 3 miles 4 furlongs it can be a stamina sapping contest with conditions often testing.
