Northern Racing wins and develops its business through innovation, understanding its marketplace and providing a high level of customer service.
Our aim is provide quality racecourse venues and competitive racing for all of our customers (which very much includes Owners and Trainers)
Our racing policy is to stage competitive horseracing, framing the races in accordance with the existing status of the horse population and supported by competitive prize money.
We support our basic racing product by running a number of feature days, defined by the prize money offered, not necessarily the grade of the race.
The racing surface plays a fundamental part in the racing process – essentially a good, fair surface will always attract runners, whereas extremes of going will always exclude a certain type of horse.
Consequently, the care, development, drainage and management of the surface are paramount.
