Chester is well known as the Roodee, Chester is the oldest racecourse in the UK, with racing staged there as early as the 16th century. Chester provides the excitement of Cheltenham Festival, the style of Royal Ascot Betting and the racing quality of Newmarket. The whole setting is marvellous - the track is just a short walk from the historic city centre and bordered by the ancient city walls and it is the most popular vantage point for the races.

The track itself is the most unique part of Chester racecourse and it does suit the handy front running types, making it a demanding test for horses and jockeys and one of the most exciting spectacles in racing. The racing attracts a lot of betting interest and many bookmakers offer Free Horse Racing Bets for the meeting. The track is left-handed and just over a mile round but its main characteristic is the shortness of its run-in. It is just 239 yards, which offers little scope for last-minute bursts. Trainers believe that their horses will learn a lot about the hustle and bustle of racing on this track.

The May meeting has some of very important Classic trials - the Dee Stakes and Chester Vase for colts and the Cheshire Oaks for fillies. Epsom Derby winners Oath (1999) and Kris Kin (2003) are among those to have used Chester as a stepping stone to greater glory.

The meeting is famous for the Chester Cup, one of the most important staying handicaps of the year, which always attracts a large field for its dizzying two and a quarter miles around the Roodee.
