A large gently sloping hill adjacent to the course enables racegoers to enjoy a spectacular view of all the action, with plenty of space for parking, picnics and an array of traders.

Worcester Race Report: The Laura Richardson-trained Jeux D’Eau added his name to the iconic roll-call for the historic Lady Dudley Cup with a no- nonsense victory in the Classic when providing his Shropshire-based trainer with by far the biggest victory of her fledgling career. An emotional Richardson was finding it difficult to hold back tears of joy and said: “I cannot believe it as we have always thought he was a nice horse ever since we had him as a two-year-old — but to win a prestigious race like this is beyond my wildest dreams.” Author: Andrew King For a full report, visit the above website Albrighton & Woodland Race Report: Champion Trainer - Tom Ellis - concluded a tremendous season by winning 70 winners plus a walkover pointing which means he bettered last year’s tally of 62 – but it is all just numbers for now as next November he will all be back on zero and trying to do it all over again. ‘Good Source’ was sent off a 7-2 chance in the race and had enough in reserve up the home straight to thwart the late run of ‘Ahead Of The Game’ by a couple of lengths with odds-on favourite ‘Far From Over’ back in third. Ellis said that: “They have done a great job with the ground at the course as it’s as close to good as you can get and ‘Good Source’ fairly bounced off it. He’s a nice horse for the future as he is only six years old.”
