Two Day Meeting

(Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th December)

Location

3m NW of Marlborough. Main entrance off Marlborough to Broad Hinton Road (10m from Exits 15 & 16, M4)

Summary

Set well off the road in natural amphitheatre; a gently undulating oblong course; superb downland grass, uphill from before two out; fences well-built; on chalk so gives perfect going in early season. Viewing is superb with the whole course visible from selected spots. Car parking satisfactory with access/exit via long hard track. Paddock is superb. An outstanding venue; the PPORA Club meeting is a must and the 2 day meeting is now a regular feature of the early weeks of the new season.
