About Salisbury

checked October 2026

Layout and key facts

  • Where: Netherhampton, on the downs south-west of Salisbury, Wiltshire — Flat only, turf.
  • Shape: Right-handed and undulating, with a straight course for 5f and 6f and a loop for the longer trips; every race finishes up a distinct climb to the line.
  • Trips: From 5f to about 1m6f.
  • Drainage: Free-draining chalk, so the course rides quick in a dry summer.

Going and the seasons

  • Summer: Good to firm or good is usual from June to August, with watering.
  • Spring and autumn: The May and October fixtures often race on good to soft or soft ground.

Signature races and fixtures

  • August and September: The Sovereign Stakes (1m) and the Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes (6f, two-year-olds).
  • Listed races: The Cathedral Stakes (6f) in June and the Stonehenge Stakes (1m, two-year-olds) in August; the Bibury Cup (1m4f handicap) in June.

Practical notes

  • Getting there: By road from the A354 and A3094 with parking on the course; buses from Salisbury station on racedays, fewer in the evenings.
  • Viewing: The straight course and the climb to the line are seen in full from the stands.
