Newton Abbot Racecourse

A real summer jumping favourite in the west country, and is always well attended with holiday makers so it has a real buzz about the place. It’s a tight left-handed track and, as such, suits a strong traveller. Slow horses struggle a bit around here and, when you get behind, it can be hard to pass horses again on the tight bends and short run-in. Fences and hurdles can come at you pretty quickly if you’re on the wrong type of horse, so a handy front-running type is always what you want to be on around here.
