Cheltenham November Meeting GET TIPS

Newcastle Races

Newcastle Racecourse is set in Gosforth Park, just to the north of the city that shares its name. It’s a venue for racing throughout the calendar and is well supported by the keen sports fans of the area.

Several high-quality jump races are held at the track. The Fighting Fifth Hurdle, run each November, is a recognised staging post on the road to Cheltenham for potential Champion Hurdlers.

The Eider Chase, a four-mile test in February, is often run on searching ground and is a genuine test of stamina for possible Grand National runners.

Since 2016, flat racing at Newcastle has taken place on an all-weather tapeta surface. This has allowed Newcastle races to stage regular floodlit fixtures, but the big flat race each year is still the Northumberland Plate.

Formerly known as the Pitmen’s Derby, this two-mile handicap attracts a big field and huge crowds to the track.

Newcastle Racing Tips

  • Newcastle Racecourse has a round, left-handed track and, unusually for an all-weather course, a straight mile. This is a stiff test because the last four furlongs are uphill, so stamina is at a premium - a horse must stay every yard of any trip here.
  • Trainer Sue Smith has an excellent record over jumps at Newcastle races. Nicky Henderson sends very few horses on the long trek north, but when he does it is definitely worth taking notice.
  • Brian Hughes is the leading jump jockey at the course, both in numbers and the regularity with which he visits the winner’s enclosure. Joe Colliver also has a notable strike rate at the track.
  • Local flat trainers such as Richard Fahey and Jim Goldie have plenty of winners, but it’s worth noting when John Gosden and William Haggas send runners north from Newmarket.
  • Some of flat racing’s biggest owners, such as Khalid Abdullah and the Cheveley Park Stud, have extremely impressive strike rates at the course.
