Worcester Racecourse is located in the city of Worcester,south west midlands of England.

Track is almost flat and no real stamina requirements needed to win at Worcester Racecourse.
The bends here are easy to negotiate,and will suit most horses,and for that reason field sizes are usually more competitive than many other National Hunt courses.
Front runners can do well at Worcester as it is galloping in nature,but 4 fences in the straight need to be jumped well.
Worcester Racecourse has a circuit of about 1mile 5 furlongs.
No flat racing just National Hunt racing (jumps) hosted at this track.
Fences are not too difficult (9 for each circuit),but 4 fences in the home straight can make for exciting dash for the line,and horses will need to jump well to win,as the run in from last fence is just 200 yards to the winning line.
The hurdle course has just 6 obstacles to negotiate each circuit.
