Market Rasen

Market Rasen, affectionately known as "The Jewel in Lincolnshire's Crown," offers thrilling National Hunt action in a picturesque setting. Established in 1924, this right-handed, undulating oval circuit is just over a mile and two furlongs in circumference, demanding good balance and agility from its competitors. The track's fairly tight bends and testing fences provide a genuine jumping challenge, making it a great proving ground for future stars. What makes Market Rasen truly notable is its vibrant summer jumps programme, a rarity in British racing. It’s a track renowned for its friendly, accessible atmosphere, often attracting families and newcomers to the sport. Excellent viewing ensures you’re always close to the action. Its two flagship contests, the Grade 3 Summer Plate, a fiercely competitive handicap chase, and the Summer Hurdle, are highlights of the seasonal calendar, drawing quality horses and passionate crowds. It’s a must-visit for any jumps racing enthusiast.
