Course Information: Bangor-on-Dee is a picturesque, if not an idiosyncratic, racecourse, situated just across the border, on the banks of the river Dee. It is one of only three racecourses in Wales, and the only one based in the north of the country. 

It is a jumps-only, left-handed course about a mile and a half in circumference. Almost triangular in shape and mainly flat, it is generally regarded as a fast track with relatively stiff fences and three sharp bends, which means the horses are constantly on the turn. 

The course's characteristics lend themselves to horses that are fast, accurate jumpers who can travel at speed. It has nine fences per circuit, with the last two on the final straight, which is only one and a half furlongs in distance to the winning post. Due to this, many of the top trainers bring their juvenile horses to Bangor as part of their horse racing education.
