Taunton Racecourse

Taunton is a tight and trappy track to ride. It’s pretty level on the whole but the third last fence and second last hurdle as you swing into the home straight catch a few out as you run down into them at speed. The fences aren’t all that stiff though and are a fair enough test for most, but as with most flat tracks it pays to be on horse with a gear or two up their sleeve, and sometimes they tend to get racing a fair way out.
