When is the flat season over in horse racing?

Question

When is the flat season over in horse racing?

Answer 1

Here in the US, the flat season is never over.

Winter racing in the northeastern US-- think of Aqueduct in the dead of winter, with the temperature close to zero and the wind blowing-- is brutal for the horses and people, but they still keep running them.  

Sad, really.

Answer 2

As has been said, technically the flat season never stops in GB these days as we have all-weather racing.

The turf season runs from late March till early November, although many traditionalists like to think that the flat season really starts with the Craven Meeting at Newmarket in mid-April and ends with the Champions Meeting around 20th October.

Answer 3

different for each racecourse,  but it's somewhere between late October and early November.

i used to be the secretary for Redcar Racecourse. ( flat racecourse  in north yorkshire)

Answer 4

The last day of the TURF flat season this year is Saturday the 10th of November with the meeting at Doncaster.

The pretend racing on all weather (dirt type) tracks that the "donkey's" run on, keep going all year round.

( A very vague answer above from someone allegedly into horseracing)

Answer 5

Well with all-weather and all year round jump racing the word "season" is a loose term but the flat season as we know it ends with the November Handicap at Doncaster on the first or second Saturday of November.

Answer 6

its not long started but i think october time but they hav flat races all year round on the all weather

Answer 7

after the November handicap, the all weather is all year but they were going to use the all weather when racing was postponed on the grass, but the bookies and the racing authorities got greedy and made it all the time.

Answer 8

So what do you fancy for the November Handicap??
