The West Midlands as a whole is a little light on racecourses, but the area does boast one of the busiest tracks in the country in the shape of this All-Weather venue.
Aided by its durable Tapeta surface and excellent floodlighting, Wolverhampton stages close to 80 fixtures per year, the majority of which take place in the evening. Most meetings at the Dunstall Park track are competitive but average in terms of quality – the main exception to this being the Lady Wulfruna Stakes which takes place in March.
