Haydock Racecourse

Haydock Park racecourse isn’t steeped in centuries of history, like many of its counterparts. The racecourse opened its gates in 1899, and in recent decades won two awards for Racecourse of the year, in 1998 and 2000.

Haydock offers flat racing along with National Hunt racing, it’s one of the Norths busiest tracks as it plays host to some fantastic meets. The Grand National Trial kicks off in February and is shortly followed by The Temple Stakes in May. There’s also the Betfair Chase in November, Sprint Cup in September and July sees the Old Newton Cup and Lancashire Oaks race events too.

You’ll find ample vendors at Haydock with whom you can place your bet. We’d advise that you check back here nearer the time to race time too, just in case we haven’t already placed are favourites.

At the course, there’s a parade ring where you can take a good look at your own personal favourite.

Totes are prevalent throughout the course, where your stake goes into a pot and the winnings are split amongst the other winners who partook in the race. On-course bookmakers are stationed around too, don’t just throw your money at the first one you come across. Odds and so your best betting options can change, so go with the bookie offering the best odds for your selection. You’ll also find betting shops within Haydock Park too, so you can place bets on other races or activities during the day too.

Over a mile and 5 furlongs long, it caters for 31 days’ worth of racing throughout the year.

The course is flat, left-handed and oval in shape, the last 4 furlongs see a slight rise in the run-in. Excellent for flat racing with up to six furlongs for a straight course run-in.

You’ll also find a champagne bar within the stand and there are exceptional dining facilities, special packages are available, do call for more information.
