Sedgefield Racecourse
Sedgefield Racecourse is a horse-racing track in Sedgefield, Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom. It opened in 1846 at Racecourse Rd.
History
Racing has been at Sedgefield since at least 1732, but the first recorded meetings began in 1846. In 1804, an ancestor of the Earls of Durham, Ralph Lambton, formed a club based at the Hardwick Arms, and Sedgefield became the headquarters of the Ralph Lambton Hunt. Among the club’s original members were Ralph Brandling, then owner of Gosforth Park, and Robert Surtees, the father of Robert Smith Surtees, the author of Jorrocks.
The racecourse had experienced ups and downs and had almost reached its end multiple times. First, it was greatly improved with the leadership of Frank Scotto since 1977, but it was already rumored to be on the verge of closure. It survived due to the improvements, but it was again almost on its end after Scotto died. In 1999, a horrific incident in a novices’ chase occurred when three horses were killed after three riderless horses ran into the remainder of the field after running up the chase track the wrong way. The racecourse had just narrowly avoided closure for the third time that century when Northern Racing purchased it in 2001. They refurbished the Parade Ring/Winners Enclosure, upgraded the bars, eating areas, and the course’s drainage system.
It is located close to Sedgefield, County Durham, and five minutes from Junction 60 off the A1(M). It is also only twenty minutes from Teesside, Darlington, and Durham city center. It is owned by Arena Racing Company (formerly Northern Racing) and is one of the country’s friendliest racecourses. It operates 18 fixtures each year, with meetings occurring every month of the year, except June and July. It features the Durham National, a steeplechase run at an October meeting over the unusual distance of three and three-quarter miles.
