Windsor

Windsor Racecourse, nestled beside the River Thames in Berkshire, offers a truly unique flat racing experience. Opened in 1897, it stands as one of only two figure-of-eight tracks in the UK, making it a distinctive challenge for horses and jockeys alike. This left-handed, galloping course is predominantly flat, providing fair ground for races ranging from five furlongs up to a mile and a half, with a testing run-in. What truly sets Windsor apart is its vibrant summer evening racing, particularly the iconic Monday night fixtures. The atmosphere here is electric, drawing large crowds who enjoy high-quality racing in a picturesque setting. It's a fantastic spot for a summer's evening out. Notable races include the Listed August Stakes and the Group 3 Winter Hill Stakes, attracting quality runners. Windsor combines heritage with a modern, lively race day experience, making it a firm favourite on the flat racing calendar.
