This National Hunt-only venue is the only course in the county of Cambridgeshire and resides in Brampton near the town of Huntingdon. The season begins in October and runs a little longer than many jumps venues, with the last of the twenty or so meetings coming in early June.
December’s Grade 2 event of the Peterborough Chase is the track’s flagship contest, and regularly attracts a high-quality field.
