Warwick Racing Odds Today

This page has today's Warwick race card, live Warwick racing results, the 2026 fixtures and our Warwick racing tips, along with a full guide to the Jockey Club's jumps track in the heart of Warwickshire.

The course is about a five-minute walk from the town centre, with Warwick Castle nearby, and racing has been held on the site for more than two centuries. Since 2015 it has staged jumps racing only.

It's a sharp, left-handed track with five fences in quick succession down the back straight, so it's a real test for novice chasers. The Classic Chase in January and the Kingmaker Novices' Chase in February are its best-known races, while the New Year's Eve meeting is the busiest day of the year.

Warwick Racing Tips

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

• Favour front-runners and prominent racers: Warwick is sharp, with tight bends, and horses ridden from the front or close to the pace tend to do well. Hold-up horses often find too much to do.
• Respect the back-straight fences: Five fences come in quick succession down the back straight. Mick Fitzgerald rates Warwick one of the toughest tracks in Britain for novice chasers, so experienced, fluent jumpers are a safer bet.
• Look to ex-Flat horses over hurdles: The hurdles course is particularly sharp, and Fitzgerald notes that horses with Flat speed often do well here.
• Back stayers in the long-distance chases: Races such as the Classic Chase usually turn into end-to-end gallops, and non-stayers get found out. Proven stamina is essential over three miles and more.
• Follow the Skeltons: Dan Skelton is Warwick's leading trainer with 115 winners, and over the last three years he has had 20 chase winners and 22 hurdle winners. Harry Skelton has ridden 130 winners here, and he strikes at 37% in chases over the last three years.
• Trust favourites in non-handicaps: Favourites have won 52% of non-handicap hurdles and 54% of non-handicap chases at Warwick. In handicaps, the figure drops to around 31%.

Warwick Race Course Guide

The Warwick race course is a left-handed circuit, mostly flat apart from a fairly steep climb soon after the winning post. The ground then descends gradually into the turn for the back straight. The track has a long back straight but tight bends, so it plays as a sharp course, and Mick Fitzgerald calls it "very much a speed track".

The five fences that come close together on the back straight are the defining feature of the chase course. Even so, Warwick has one of the lowest fence casualty rates in Britain. The course also has a nine-hole golf course and a driving range in the middle.

Position and Going at Warwick

Being close to the pace is a clear advantage at Warwick. Horses that race prominently can use their speed round the tight bends, while those held up need a clear run and a strong finish to win.

The going is often soft or heavy in midwinter, and frost is a regular threat to January meetings. The Classic Chase meeting was lost in both 2025 and 2026. In spring and autumn, the ground is usually good or good to soft. Check the going report and any inspection news on the morning of racing.

In February, the Grade 2 Kingmaker Novices' Chase is a recognised trial for the Arkle. Past winners include Voy Por Ustedes, Long Run and Finian's Rainbow. In 2026, it went to Steel Ally (10/11 favourite) for Sam Thomas and Dylan Johnston.

History of Warwick Racecourse

Warwick has a long racing history, and its first grandstand was built in 1808. For many years it staged both Flat and jumps racing, but in 2014, after a fatal fall led to several Flat fixtures being moved, Jockey Club Racecourses ended Flat racing. The last Flat meeting was held on 26 August 2014.

Since 2015, Warwick has concentrated on jumps racing, and its facilities were redeveloped in 2018. Today, it's run by Jockey Club Racecourses, which also owns Cheltenham, Aintree, Sandown and Epsom.
