Welcome back to Hereford Racecourse for our Season Opener and thank you to BetWright for their support today.
It barely feels like we closed the gates in May and are back again! But we have lots to look forward to over the 2025/2026 season, including our Venetia Williams Raceday on Tuesday 25th November, celebrating her 30 Years in Training, our ever popular Christmas Jumper Raceday returns on Saturday 20th December, then looking ahead we will welcome the Richard Layton Charity raceday back on Thursday 16th April which will also close the season. Our fixture list is displayed in your racecard so be sure to get these dates in your diary.
Throughout the season we have our Day at the Races packages (admission, drink, pie & racecard) available which offer great value, but these do sell out fast so would encourage you to get booked in via the website for your desired fixture. As well as our Snaffles restaurant opening on feature days, we also offer Premier Viewing in this facility for all fixtures in between, which makes the perfect base for the day, again all available via the website www.hereford-racecourse.co.uk
With attention turning back to today’s action, I would like to take the opportunity to wish all Owners, Trainers, Jockeys and Stable Staff the best of luck with their runners at Hereford and beyond as we see the jumps season getting back into full swing. Also a huge thank you to our team of groundstaff who have worked tirelessly to prepare the ground for today after an incredibly dry summer
Before our next fixture on Monday 3rd November we welcome St Michael’s Hospice here for their Fireworks display on Saturday 1st November, details are include in your racecard and tickets can be purchased in advance through their website, it promises to be a dazzling evening of entertainment for all the family!
We hope you have a great day with us and see you again in early November
Best wishes
Camilla Esling, General Manager

Not much pace on paper and that favours front-running JUNGLE WOOD who has solid form in staying handicaps and appeals most with Sean Bowen in the saddle for the first time. Jager Time was much improved on for a longer trip when narrowly denied at Southwell and rates a serious danger, while Getaway With You has been the subject of a gamble on his previous two starts and again merits consideration. Of the rest,TrackingTreasure may improve up in trip while Knightsbridge is worth a market check
