Hereford Track Guide

We did think we wouldn’t see horse racing again at Hereford after the track closed in 2012 after a commercial decision by the owners, however, the track bounced back, and racing returned in 2016.

The track situated on the English/Welsh border features National Hunt Racing, holding around a dozen fixtures each year.

Highlights: A couple of valuable chases with the best known probably the 188bet.co.uk Handicap Chase just before Cheltenham.

Hereford Racecourse Map

Right-handed, a mile and a half track square-shaped. The fences are strategically placed for awkwardness and you need a well-balanced horse that is adaptable, it does seem you are always on the turn at Hereford. A shortish run-in after the last means you should not let runners get away from you, the downhill run in also means horses can accelerate away.

Picks From The Racetrack for Hereford

At Hereford, partly because of its location and its many midweek race days, you tend to get 1 or 2 stand-out horses at a meeting, with the other runners not good enough to compete.

This should make finding the winner easier, with those towards the head of the market strongly favored.

Look to Welsh and Midlands trainers for winners. Venetia Williams is based close to the track and Henry Oliver from Worcester and David Rees all have decent records here.
