Different tracks used in all weather horse racing

Presently, there are four all weather tracks found in UK, while a fifth course is being developed in Essex. With 5 million pounds slotted to be given as prize money in the all-weather season this year, the race proves to be a really competitive one.

Horse racing lovers love all-weather horse racing even though it may not be that interesting to watch low-grade horses running on sand on a summer day. In fact, I feel that UK all-weather racing is growing in popularity and demand day by day. And this is a great piece of information for punters looking for a profit while betting on races on the beach.

One point to remember about all weather racing is that the racing surface differs from one course to another. There are two types of sand used in all weather racing; polytrack which is a rubberized sand to minimize kickback impact on the horses.

The Wolverhamptom and Lingfield courses use this material; so when betting here, bet a horse that will see the trip out. The other material used in all weather racing is fibresand, which is used in Southwell. This is a more demanding surface than polytrack where racing here is equivalent to turf racing on soft and heavy ground.
