Haydock Park Racecourse
A racecourse sitting halfway between two cities, taken off a motorway junction, belongs to both of them and to neither — which is exactly why a Manchester venue index claimed it.
The record keeps the fixture and feature-race notes the archive published, jumps and flat alike. Racing is the one sport in this index whose business model the desk writes about more often than its results, in Business.
Haydock Park Racecourse is ideally situated half way between Liverpool and Manchester, easily accessible from junction 23 of the M6. With 32 race fixtures during 2009, Haydock Park hosts high profile group and grade I races including the Betfred Sprint Cup and Betfair Chase. With both jump and flat racing throughout the year there is every opportunity to experience the thrill and excitement of a day at the races!
