Wetherby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wetherby Racecourse is a National Hunt racecourse situated near the market town of Wetherby in West Yorkshire, England, located 12 miles from Leeds city centre.

The Racecourse is located on the B1224 York Road, directly adjacent to the A1. It is situated opposite Wetherby. There are new access roads between North and East Wetherby and the A1. The racecourse can also be accessed from Walton Road at the rear of the stands.

Horse racing in Wetherby was first took place on Scaur Bank In 1891 racing moved to a new site situated off York Road. From the 1920s to the 1950s the racecourse was served by Wetherby Racecourse railway station. In the 1930s the first terraces were erected, a new two tear stand was erected adjacent to this in the 1970s and then in 1999 the new Millennium Stand was opened, providing the racecourse with executive banqueting and conference facilities. Up until 1963, Racecourse Specials ran to Wetherby railway station from Bradford Interchange on racedays. As the station on York Road had closed many years before, for decades the only rail access was via the station on Linton Road at the other end of Wetherby from the racecourse.

Wetherby Racecourse is the only racecourse in Yorkshire that hosts only National Hunt jump meetings, although there are plans in the pipeline to build an additional all-weather track to cater for horse racing in the winter months, when many Wetherby meetings are cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. Wetherby hosts the Bet365 Charlie Hall Chase and the Skybet Castleford Chase.

The Racecourse features the following facilities, areas and amenities:
