Tips for Catterick Racecourse
Sprinters meet some undulations in the closing stages, but race downhill most of the time. A very sharp track, handy types can be favoured, but must not go off too quickly. Due to good drainage, it rarely gets very heavy.
Although fences tend to be classed as on the easy side, races are often run at a decent pace, which causes more casualties than would otherwise be the case.

Here we have the draw bias for Catterick taken into consideration in races with ten or more runners. We will break down the figures by race trips. Draws can be much more important in shorter trips, where runners do not have time to find their position during the race, meaning the draw is probably more important than in races over longer distances.
- Sprints (5f to 7½f)
- Middle Distance (1m2f to 1m5½f)
The following table shows a breakdown of a group of trips and shows how each position of the draw does, for example, in a twelve-runner race would be Low (Stalls 1-4), Mid (Stalls 5-8) and High (Stalls 9-12). The positions will always be the lowest stall number to the highest.
