Beverley Racing Tips

If you're looking for Beverley racing tips for today, here are some general tips to keep in mind for the track:

• Back low draws over five furlongs: The five-furlong course has a dog-leg to the right and slopes towards the inside rail, which gives low-drawn horses a big advantage. It's one of the most pronounced draw biases in British racing.
• Look for early speed in sprints: Jason Weaver says gate speed is the key on the sprint course. Horses that break quickly and get to the rail are hard to beat.
• Be patient on the round course: On the round course, Weaver says jockeyship and patience matter more. The run-in is only about two and a half furlongs, so horses need to be well placed turning in.
• Respect the uphill finish: The sprint course rises all the way, so five furlongs at Beverley takes some getting, especially for two-year-olds on soft ground early in the season.
• Follow Mark Johnston's yard and Karl Burke: Mark Johnston is Beverley's leading trainer with 146 winners at 22%, and the yard, now run by Charlie Johnston, still does well. Karl Burke has won with 26% of his runners over the last three years.
• Note Jason Hart and Joe Fanning: Jason Hart has ridden the most winners at Beverley over the last three years, including the 2026 Beverley Bullet. Joe Fanning has 106 winners here overall.

Beverley Race Course Guide

The Beverley race course is a right-handed circuit of just over a mile and three furlongs. It's mostly flat but has tight turns and a stiff uphill finish. A downhill turn into the home straight softens the climb a little, so the round course isn't as stiff as it looks. The run-in is only about two and a half furlongs, which favours horses ridden with enterprise.

The five-furlong course has a dog-leg to the right, and it rises all the way to the line. It's a real test even on good ground, and on soft ground it takes some getting.

Draw and Going at Beverley

Beverley's five-furlong course is known for the strongest draw bias of any racecourse in Britain. The sharp right-hand bend and the ground sloping away to the left mean low-drawn horses, close to the inside rail, have a big advantage. A good draw is also helpful on the round course, but it isn't as decisive.

Beverley races in spring and summer, so the going is usually good or good to firm. The course sits on high ground, and Jason Weaver notes that the ground tends to run away from horses as they turn into the straight. Check the going report on the morning of racing.

Big Races at Beverley

The Listed Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes is Beverley's most famous race, a five-furlong sprint for three-year-olds and upwards. In 2026, it moved to the August bank holiday weekend and was broadcast on ITV. Jm Jungle won it as the 7/4 favourite for John and Sean Quinn and Jason Hart.

The Listed Hilary Needler Trophy is a five-furlong race for two-year-old fillies, and it's often a trial for Royal Ascot. Attraction won it in 2003 before going on to win the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas. The Listed Charlie Wood Stakes, over a mile and a half in July, is the other big race of the season.

Beverley Races Ladies Day and Family Days

Ladies Day is held in August, on Wednesday 12 August in 2026, and features the Most Stylish Racegoer competition. Premier tickets often sell out, so book early.

Beverley also runs several Family Fun Racedays each season, with face painting, farm animals and children's entertainment. Under-18s go free on most race days. The summer Saturdays include celebrity DJ sets and live music after racing.

History of Beverley Racecourse

Racing in Beverley dates back more than 300 years, with early races held on the Westwood pasture. An annual meeting started in 1767, the same year the first grandstand was commissioned at a cost of £1,000. During the First World War, the Royal Flying Corps took over the course as a base for fighter aircraft and training.

A new stand opened in the Tattersalls enclosure in 1968, and the facilities have been refurbished in phases since then. The course is owned by the Beverley Race Company.
