Market Rasen Course Guide and Statistics
The course at Market Rasen
Market Rasen is a right-handed jumps course of about a mile and a quarter. The track has sharp bends and a short home straight, and it is one of the busiest venues for summer jumping in Britain.
Betting at Market Rasen
The sharp track favours horses that race prominently and travel well. Summer jumpers who like fast ground often do well, and trainers who target the summer season have good records. Big handicap fields in the Summer Plate make the draw and position at the first bend relevant.
