A straight all-weather mile plus a stiff jumps track — the Tapeta surface produces reliable, repeatable form lines through the winter. Our rated Newcastle selections publish on the morning of each card with written reasoning and the best price. 18+ BeGambleAware.
Newcastle stages both Flat and jumps racing. Its Flat racing takes place on an all-weather surface, including a straight mile, while jumps racing is run on a left-handed, galloping turf track.
The Northumberland Plate, one of the most famous staying handicaps, is run on the Flat in late June. Over jumps, the Eider Chase, a marathon handicap chase, is run in February.
All-weather Flat racing runs throughout the year, with the Plate in late June; jumps racing runs in the winter.
