Plumpton |
| Steeped in tradition, racing has taken place at Plumpton for over 200 years. The racecourse nestles below the South Downs close to the old Sussex town of Lewes. The modern stands close to the rails and compact enclosures give a marvellous atmosphere at the oldest steeplechasing course in Sussex. | |

Southwell |
| n 1989 the course underwent a major development with the construction of a Fibresand all-weather track. Since then Southwell has played a major role in the British fixture list hosting fixtures in every month of the year and, in particular, helping to ensure that racing does not grind to a halt during the inclement British winter. | |

Royal Windsor |
|
Royal Windsor racecourse, situated on the banks of the river Thames in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, is the only figure-of-eight Flat course in the country, and the sharp bends mean that the focus is on speed rather than stamina, though the effect is slightly offset by the long home straight (almost five furlongs). |

Worcester |
|
Racing has taken place at the Pitchcroft course, close to the banks of the River Severn, since at least 1718, making Worcester one of the oldest racecourses in Britain. By the middle of the nineteenth century, several important races had become well established at the course, including the Worcester Stakes and the Gold Cup. |
