Investor Relations
Company Overview
Newbury Racecourse Company Limited was incorporated in 1904 with the first race meeting held the following year. In 1982 the company re-registered as a Public Limited Company and has remained in public ownership ever since. The company operates all year round from its ownership of 28 horseracing fixtures across both National Hunt and Flat racing codes, and also hosts additional fixtures as allocated by the British Horseracing Authority.
In addition to horseracing the company generates income from a number of non-racing activities including conferences, exhibitions and events, both indoor and outdoor. The company also owns and operates a 7-room children’s nursery called The Rocking Horse Nursery which can accommodate over 150 children up to the age of 4, as well as a 36-bedroom on site hotel.
The company owns the freehold to the 230-acre site and in 2012 entered into a Joint Venture agreement with David Wilson Homes to undertake a major redevelopment of the racecourse which included the development and sale of approx. 1,500 housing units, which is now substantially complete. As a result, the company owns the freehold to thirteen apartment blocks around the racecourse containing 618 units.
