Newcastle (AW) Course Guide and Statistics
The course at Newcastle (AW)
Newcastle's all-weather track is a left-handed Tapeta oval with a straight course of a mile. It is a galloping track with a stiff uphill finish, which makes it a very different test from the tighter all-weather courses such as Lingfield and Wolverhampton. The jumps course at Gosforth Park remains on turf.
Betting at Newcastle (AW)
The straight course and the uphill climb reward stamina and a strong finish, so horses that have shown they see their trip out are worth preferring. On the straight course, big fields can split, and the draw can favour one side. Horses who win on tight all-weather tracks do not always reproduce that form here.
Key races and meetings
- Northumberland Plate (late June), one of Britain's richest handicaps
- All-Weather Championships qualifiers through the winter
