Market Rasen Racecourse is a National Hunt racecourse in the town of Market Rasen, in Lincolnshire, England.[1][2] It is owned and operated by Jockey Club Racecourses.[3]
Racing initially began at Market Rasen in the early 1800s, however found its current home in 1924, its first race meeting coming in April of that year.[4] The course is a right-handed oval with a circumference of around one-and-a-quarter miles.[5] Although National Hunt racing is traditionally a winter sport, Market Rasen stages a year-round programme of racing.[6]
Its most high-profile fixture is the Summer Plate meeting, normally staged on the third Saturday in July. This features the two-and-a-quarter miles Summer Hurdle and the eponymous Summer Plate, a two-and-three-quarter miles chase, both of which are among the most valuable National Hunt races staged in Britain during the summer months.[2]
Former jockey AP McCoy is the leading jockey by statistics, winning 27% of races he entered at Market Rasen.[7] In 2014, he rode his 4,192nd winner beating friend and former colleague Martin Pipe's overall wins record.[8]
