King's Top Tips
A wide, left-handed, galloping Berkshire track with a straight mile on the Flat — a fair test where class and stamina usually come through, over both codes. Our rated Newbury selections publish on the morning of each card with written reasoning and the best price. 18+ BeGambleAware.
Newbury, in Berkshire, stages both Flat and jumps racing. It is a left-handed, flat and galloping track with a long home straight, plus a straight mile for Flat races up to a mile.
On the Flat, the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes over a mile is run in May. Over jumps, the Coral Gold Cup, a handicap chase first run as the Hennessy Gold Cup, is the highlight of a two-day meeting in late November or early December.
Flat racing runs from spring to autumn, with the Lockinge in May; jumps racing runs through the winter, with the Coral Gold Cup meeting in late November or early December.
The wide, galloping track and long straight usually give every runner a fair chance, so class and proven stamina count for more than an early position. On the straight mile, watch how the early races are run to see which part of the track is riding best. Check the going, as winter ground at Newbury can turn testing. 18+ BeGambleAware.org.
