Wetherby Racecourse is a National Hunt racecourse situated near the rural market town of Wetherby in Yorkshire, England, situated on the outskirts of Leeds.
Wetherby Racecourse is unique in Yorkshire as it is the only racecourse 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 cold, frosty winter months, when many Wetherby meetings are cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, after track realignment work [1].
Wetherby hosts the Bet365 Charlie Hall Chase (Grade 2) and the Skybet Castleford Chase (Grade 2).
Some of the more famous racehorses that have raced there include
- Marlborough,
- One Man,
- See More Business,
- Viking Flagship,
- Rhinestone Cowboy
