The Hereford course has only been used for National Hunt racing since 2016 after four years of the track being out of use. The race track is situated in the West of England, just shy of the Welsh border.

It is a simpler National Hunt track compared to most. This results in races usually being made up of less experienced novices. It’s a track where owners have sent their fresher recruits to get a grasp of their job.

The track went unused from 2012 to 2016 after then-owners Arena Racing Company failed to secure a lease from Herefordshire Council. With no lease, racing at Hereford was put on an uninvited break, with only Arabian racing and a handful of point to points taking place at the course in the four years. 

Eventually, on 6th October 2016, National Hunt racing returned to the course with a well-attended opening meeting, where top jockeys and trainers from across the country entered to show their appreciation for the return of racing at the track.

Hereford Racing Live Stream: Course Layout

The course is right-handed and almost an exact square in shape. The mile and a half circuit consists of nine fences and four bends.

The track is a relatively easy ride due to wide and blunt bends, however it is the last bend of the course which is often seen as the trickiest part of the journey. 

The bend on to the home straight is quite sharp and also on falling ground, which means if forced very wide on the track or tight to the bend then the horses can lose a lot of momentum; Being a winter track, the surface can often be heavy and sluggish, which often makes the final bend more difficult than usual.

Top Events on the Hereford Racing Live Stream

Despite the track being opened in 1771, Hereford Racecourse does not host any course-specific blockbuster races and lacks a specific headline race.

Instead, owners often target meetings at the course in the run-in to Cheltenham and Aintree in order to test fitness and keep the horses’ in the racing mindset. 

This has led to some top horses competing at Hereford before they take the trip to the festivals, the likes of Star de Mohaison, Mighty Man and State of Play all won at Hereford before running out victorious in their more significant races the following month.

The jumps track is a regular fixture in the National Hunt racing season and is always well-attended, with racing fans travelling from afar to spend an afternoon at the venue, show by how the course’s record attendance of 4,501. 

One of the most popular days at the track is the annual Ladies Day, which is hosted in June. The tickets sell quickly for the day as the venue becomes packed full of elaborate headwear and striking frocks as groups travel from far and wide for a piece of the action.

Hereford Viewing Options

The Hereford Racecourse has a view of pure greenery. The course circles around its very own golf course. This means that the grandstand enjoys views of endless streams of shades of green; With a distant skyline of town roofs and the Welsh mountaintops, it makes for a stunning backdrop for the entertainment on display.

Despite its traditional racecourse views, the grandstand itself is very modern and was only recently renovated. It can accommodate racing fans on the traditional sloped standing area as well as the roof, for those willing to pay extra for the aerial views

However, with the racecourse being so large, there are stretches of grass alongside the track where many punters choose to watch the races from. The lower part of the grandstand is also usually the most popular considering the English winter weather!

What better way to prepare for watching the action on the Hereford races live stream than this beauty.

Watch 33/1 outsider Have A Go Hero battle to victory in March 2017. Dai Williams’ gelding turned his poor form on its head to secure victory in this Class 4 race.

Overall, Hereford has a brilliant course and there are live streams of some very exciting races throughout the season.

Its return to the racing fixture list has been a roaring success and the four-year hiatus may have had a positive effect. Crowds have grown at a greater rate since the turnstiles have reopened.
