Newbury Racecourse ranked sixth best in UK in recent Betting.com study

A recent study carried out by a betting company has ranked Newbury Racecourse as the sixth best in the UK.

The study, carried out by Betting.com, ranked the different venues by analysing online reviews, social media following, distance from the nearest train station, the cost of a pint as well as the cost of the cheapest race day ticket.

Cheltenham took the top spot on the list, with its large number of internet searches and 4.5 Google review rating helping it to an impressive 7.52 final racecourse score, despite an average Cheltenham pint costing an eye watering £7.40.

Ascot came in second with 6.49, and Goodwood was third with 5.97.

Newbury scored a respectable 5.61, with its close proximity to its own train station and 4.4 Google review rating helping it secure a sixth place position.

Newbury Racecourse also ranked second, after Cheltenham, on average Google searches with 22,000 recorded every month.
