Leicester
Leicester Leicester has recently erected a new Grandstand, which looks over 200 acres of the racecourse and golf course making it an attractive option for race days and other functions. The leading Flat trainers often use this course to introduce many of their best two-year-olds and a host of maiden winners here have gone on to win Classic races. The ground often rides on the soft side during the National Hunt season and stamina is an all-important asset. Large fields and competitive racing are virtually guaranteed.
Effect of the Draw
High numbers are usually best in straight races, but the bias is not massive. Look first to those drawn 12 and above when the fields are pushing 20.
Concentrate on: the top seven stalls in 16+ runner races of up to 1m8yds.
