Wetherby - Racecourse

Racecourse

Wetherby Racecourse was originally located on the King George V playing fields at the Ings or Scaur Bank on Linton Road. It moved to its current site on the B1224 York Road and is the only racecourse in Yorkshire to stage only jump racing. There has been debate as to whether to introduce a flat course. The course is a left hand oval with easy bends. In 1999 the new millennium stand opened, providing the racecourse with executive facilities, making it possible to compete with York, Pontefract, Ripon and Thirsk). It has three stands, one constructed in the 1930s with football style terracing, a two-tier seated stand constructed in the 1970s and the new Millennium Stand.
