What distances do they race at Monmore Green?

Monmore Green offers five standard race distances: 264 metres (a two-bend sprint), 480 metres (the standard four-bend trip and the most commonly raced distance), 630 metres, 684 metres (both middle-distance tests) and 835 metres (the marathon). The first bend at Monmore arrives at 103 metres from the start, which is a key factor in how each distance plays out — shorter trips place more emphasis on early pace and trap draw, while longer races reward stamina and bend technique. Most graded races on a typical meeting card are run over 480m, with sprints and marathon events appearing less frequently.

Which trap wins the most at Monmore?

Trap 1 (the red jacket, closest to the inside rail) has the highest aggregate win rate at Monmore, consistent with the broader UK pattern where Trap 1 averages approximately 18-19% of wins compared to the theoretical 16.66% per trap. At Monmore, the tight 419-metre oval and the relatively short 103-metre run to the first bend amplify this inside-rail advantage. However, the bias varies by distance — it is strongest over the 264m sprint where there are only two bends, and weakest over the 835m marathon where the number of bends dilutes the trap draw influence. Individual meetings can produce extreme deviations, so treat aggregate trap data as a guide rather than a guaranteed edge.

What days does Monmore Green race and what time does it start?

In 2026, Monmore Green runs afternoon BAGS meetings on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, with the first race typically around 11:30 to 12:00. Evening meetings — the sessions open to the public — usually take place on Thursday and Saturday, with the first race at approximately 18:30 to 19:00. Meetings typically feature 10 to 12 races with intervals of about 15 minutes, so an evening card wraps up around 21:30. Admission for evening meetings is £7 for adults, and under-18s enter free. Check the Monmore Green social media channels or the Entain racing calendar for the latest fixtures, as schedules may change around public holidays and during the spring 2026 season.
