Ascot Racecourse

A right-handed galloping track and host to some fantastic winter jumping contests. The fences are historically stiff and those on the run down the hill, away from the stands, in particular, can take a bit of jumping, especially for a novice as they keep coming at you very quickly. It’s often on this section of the track where chases are won or lost. It’s very important here to try and get them into a nice rhythm and to be well poised turning into the home straight.
