Horse Racing analyst Will Smith previews Saturday's Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot and provides a 25/1 each-way ante-post selection.
Fakenham Racecourse is located in the Norfolk countryside with Charles, Prince of Wales being patron.
Racing has taken place at the current course in Fakenham, which is the only jumps course in the county, since 1905 and was originally known as West Norfolk Hunt before it was rebranded to Fakenham Racecourse in 1964.
The venue also hosts a caravan & camping site which operates throughout the entire year and with the course being just 10 minutes from the town centre, it’s in a great location to draw in the crowds.
It’s hasn’t got the busiest schedule with hosting just six fixtures annually.
The number of racing fixtures at Fakenham is relatively low when compared to the likes of Aintree, Doncaster Racecourse, and Ascot. There are just six fixtures a year but there are still some top-class races to get stuck into such as the Fakenham Silver Cup, the National Hunt Novices’ Chase, and the Fakenham Mares’ Handicap Hurdle.
