Jockey Club Racecourses

Huntingdon Racecourse is one of the fourteen racecourses that forms part of Jockey Club Racecourses. Other racecourses include Aintree, Carlisle, Cheltenham, Espom Downs, Exeter, Haydock Park, Kempton Park, Market Rasen, Newmarket, Nottingham, Sandown Park, Warwick and Wincanton.

The welfare of racing is the primary concern and primary goal of Jockey Club Racecourses’ business. All business profits, whether from race meetings or other business are reinvested in the sport. We are currently rolling out a £120 million investment programme to improve the courses and their facilities.

Commercial considerations are never allowed to compromise the welfare of the horses running at our courses. Our ground staff set the standard for turf management in the UK and we manage the racing calendar to ensure that our courses are always in the best possible condition. Over the next five years we will spend £4.5 million on widening and extending our courses so that we can increase the number of fixtures without running too many races on any one piece of ground.

This commitment to responsible racecourse management helps maintain the high quality of the fields at our meetings, as trainers race their best horses at Jockey Club Racecourses.

Many of our courses are working increasingly closely with their local communities and they also support a range of educational charities.
