Owners & Trainers
Thank you for choosing to run your horse with us.
Learn more about your raceday privileges to ensure you have a great day with us.
To provide the best possible experience for owners at Newbury, we’ve created a handy guide of all the raceday entitlements those with horses running with us can look forward to.
We hope your time at Newbury is full of comfort, enjoyment, and the very best of racing theatre.

#1 FOR RACING STAFF
We are delighted to be recognised by NARS as the number one racecourse for racing staff experience.
Racecourses were rated throughout 2024 by stable staff and Nars inspectors in four main categories: overnight accommodation, day facilities, canteen and stable yard. Points were tallied and an overall score produced as a guide for racecourses and staff.
We are truly grateful for this recognition, and are committed to providing the best experience possible for those who make racing happen.
