Plumpton Racecourse Guide

Plumpton in East Sussex is a National Hunt track that has 16 race days a year.

Highlights: The Sussex National, held in January and run over 3 miles and 4 furlongs, is the major race at Plumpton. Worth nearly £20,000 to the winner, the race is often run in bog-like conditions, and the marathon distance takes a lot of getting.  

Plumpton races often feature small, low-standard fields, which can make races tactical, as jockeys wait for each other to make a move. You get plenty of fallers at the track due to the low standard of the horse.

Tips From Plumpton Racecourse

Speedy types are suited to the Plumpton hurdle course; if the horse is fast between the hurdles, then that is a big advantage. Make sure you check the speed figures for hurdlers.

The Chase course only features a small number of fences, and subsequently, favourites in recent times have a great record at Plumpton.

The market leader should be investigated with a fine-tooth comb; if it looks like the best horse in the race and its favourite, then that should give you plenty of confidence.

Winners can be easier to find, although odds can be restrictive on what is generally the shortest-priced meeting of the day.

Plumpton often has race meetings on a Sunday or Monday, and when you see a trainer travelling a long distance on these days, it can be a tip in itself.
