Kelso
Surface: Turf; Good
This Scottish track hosts racing throughout the winter, the most notable being the Premier Kelso Hurdle in mid-February, which features some of the best horses in the UK.
The track is left-handed with a mostly flat surface. Kelso’s hurdles course is separate from the chase and slightly shorter. However, the final obstacle on both tracks appears closer to the winning post. This ensures there is less emphasis on stamina and more on technique.
