WhichBookie racing analyst Andrew Blair White provides a preview and betting tips for races at Limerick on Friday 27th May.
Salisbury is one of the oldest racecourses in Britain and hosts around sixteen race meeting each year between late April and mid-October.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, you’d be forgiven thinking you were in rural Wiltshire but in fact, Salisbury Racecourse is just 2km from the city centre which provides excellent transport links for all those attending events.
Salisbury is a right-handed downland flat-racing course that features no jumps. The straight course hosts races up to 1 mile and there is a loop to accommodate longer races of up to 1 mile and 6 furlongs.
The straight course has a steady rise throughout with strong galloping types generally favouring the conditions.

Frankie Dettori has been the most successful jockey in the Upavon Fillies’ Stakes over the years whereas no horse has ever won the Sovereign Stakes more than once. Dettori has also twice won the Dick Poole Fillies’ Stakes which takes place in September but Richard Hughes is the leading jockey having won the race three times with the last being in 2012 before retiring two years later.
