Redcar

Nestled near the North Yorkshire coast, Redcar Racecourse has been a cherished flat racing fixture since 1872. This left-handed, pear-shaped track, approximately 1 mile 4 furlongs, is renowned for its long, fair straight and excellent drainage, often providing good ground for galloping horses. Redcar tests speed and stamina, catering to distances from a sharp five furlongs up to a testing mile and six furlongs. Its friendly, accessible atmosphere makes Redcar particularly notable, earning it a reputation as a welcoming venue for punters and newcomers. It's often where future stars take their first steps and established campaigners find a suitable challenge. The course hosts two prestigious Listed races: the valuable Two-Year-Old Trophy, a fiercely contested juvenile sprint, and the Zetland Gold Cup, a popular middle-distance handicap. Delivering competitive racing in a picturesque, unpretentious setting, Redcar remains a firm favourite for Northern racing enthusiasts.
