FLAT: Left handed, galloping track. The straight mile at Newbury Racecourse is slightly undulating throughout. One of the fairest courses in the country, though its galloping nature makes it ideal for the big, long-striding type, and the track becomes testing in inclement weather.
NATIONAL HUNT: Left-handed, galloping with few undulations. One of the fairest courses in the country, though its galloping nature does suit the big, long-striding type. The chase course is regarded as being fairly stiff. Leaders are rarely overhauled on the chase run-in for all it often looks as though they might be, especially from the elbow.
