Catterick Racecourse is one of the
true homes of the Northern racing scene - a venue steeped in
tradition and a favourite among many of the region's owners,
trainers and racing public.
Racing at Catterick Bridge began as early as the mid-17th
Century and the first recorded meeting took place on April
22nd 1783, but it was not until 1813 that a permanent course
was created.
Today, Catterick is a charming blend of old and new.
The framework of the old 1906 stand is still evident in the
present Grandstand but many alterations and improvements
have taken place while maintaining the informal atmosphere.
As well as being one of the busiest Racecourse in North
Yorkshire with racing all year round, Catterick prides
itself on being the friendliest and provides a fun relaxed
day out for everyone whatever the occasion.
